Hi there,
your history is suggestive of some form of tachycardia( rapid and abnormal heart beat), I would advise you to consult your physician who may advise you holter monitoring( 24 hour ECG recording) and 2D Echocardiography, and if you have similar symptoms again then please get an ECG at that point of time, this is diagnostic for abnormal heart rhythm.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.
