Hello and welcome to HCM
I read your mail in detail and wants to help you. As per your mail you might have AF (Atrial Fibrillation) or PSVT (Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia). But needs to be investigated and wants to know more history:
1. Heart rate at the time of episode?
2. Frequency of the episodes?
3. Your age?
4. To what time this episode occur?
For proper diagnosis try to do the EKG at the time of episode.Alone EKG is sufficient to get to the diagnosis. Also it may occur due to stress or anxiety. So consult your doctor and investigate it.
Best Wishes
