question: I have been taking a beta-blocker for six months.  I began having sever palpitations in late June (>5,300 in a 24 hr. period).  They did many heart tests and my heart is not the problem.   My thyroid blood tests were normal as was an adrenal test.  I still get the palpitations, but they are manageable while I am on this medication.  Now I am getting goosebumps!  From my head to my toes several/many times per day.  Even while I am covered up in bed and not chilly!
