Arrhythmia: people develop arrhythmias at different ages. Or perhaps you had too much caffeine or stimulants that day. I suggest you follow up with a cardiologist who will check an EKG, and perhaps suggest a holter monitor to evaluate over time you hear rhythm. Your labs should be checked to make sure you are not low in potassium or magnesium and check your thyroid function tests. (all causes of arrhythmia
