Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I understand your concern and would explain that gas can mimic this situation. But we can not exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia too.
Anyway, if this episode repeats, I would recommend going to the ER for a resting ECG in order to exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.
Otherwise, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia.
Other tests to consider would be: complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction and blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best,
