Open Question: Potassium overdose?
Has anyone ever heard of a person reacting to a pack of blood given in a transfusion and killing someone with potassium.
The explanation given to me was that when the pack of blood was hung and started the red blood cells exploded inside the body and caused the release of potassium. 2 hours after the blood pack was started heart arythmia started. 45min after that they were in full blown cardiac arrest and nothing could be done to save the life. The person was also on dialysis and heprin was being used with that.

Open Question: Palpitations?
What are palpitations? I know it has something to do with feeling your heart beating inside your chest, but does it have to happen at a certain time to be considered a palpatation?
For example, I am just sitting here, at work, not having exerted any energy other than what is needed to type this sentence, and I can feel my heart beating in my chest as if I just got done running, or someone scared me. Is this something to worry about?
