Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. Aparna Amritsagar's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for writing your query to us.
If it is atrial fibrillation than it should be picked up on ECG. Its is terrible situation when you get this kind of episode. Consult a cardiologist & he will examine you in details. There are many causes for fast heart rate & its associated complaints.
It could be thyroid problem, any valvular heart disease, infection of heart or surrounding area of heart called pericardium, or alcohol intake. There are many causes , but it only possible to identify after examining you. So consult a good cardiologist.
Wish you good health.
