Hello Mack, welcome to psych central. The only thing that I have experienced close to what you are talking about is a flashback but that also involves terror so I would imagine that your heart rate would go up but I am not sure I have never had mine tested during a flashback.
Anyway I wanted to say hi and tell you that if you have any questions while navigating this site feel free to private message any community liaison or moderator, here is a link to a list of forum leaders.
