Hello,
Based on your family medical history, which gives you a higher risk for possible cardiac problems, I recommend you to do cardiac sonography and a cardiac stress test to see if everything is ok. You should keep in contact with a cardiologist. I don't think that an ECG Holter monitoring is important from what you are writing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
