It was for a couple min and wud ease down once i rest. There was no pain nor sweating. Will it be a case of heart disease?. I dnt smoke nor drink but eat a lot of fried foods and my family has got a history of heart disease. What simple tests could help me confirm that i dnt have aheart disease. Help

Hello! Do not worry, because what you refer does not look a serious problem. It can be a form of normal tachycardia. However, I would recommend you to do a cardiac evaluation; electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiac ultrasond and monitoring of a 24-hour rhythm (Holter rhythm 24 hours) and an evaluation of thyroid hormones.
