My heart has been randomly racing and sometimes it gives me a feeling like i need to cough. i do have a nasty family heart history. could this be bad?

Sounds like PSVT: your symptoms sound like paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. intermittent fast heart rates. Labs , cardiac event recorder and echocardiogram are usual tests to start with . some rythms can be evaluated with EP studies and cured with ablation.
