hi,
It seems you are developing sympathetic hyper activity while you have those symptoms.
It could be a paroxysmal tachycardia (which may disappear by the time you reach a doctor, and makes your EKG look normal) or a more serious disease like pheochroma. you need further testing from experts; and a cardiologist will be able to examine you and order some more tests to find out what is causing your symptoms.
