I was stressed yesterday

over worked, plus

had some sugar, salty snacks(I don't usually dabble in things like that) but yesterday I did

A mars bar

Sushi but I dipped the sushi heavy in Soy Sauce with lots of MSG, Salt

Had a coffee

and I was sitting down at my desk and all of a sudden

My heart started to go haywire like erratic, irregular, fast beat and then I got up and went to the bathroom and it was back to normal.

It felt like longer than that but it was probably a 10 secon Afib thing so not bad.

The last time I had such a thing was 1 year ago so they are infrequent

Same thing I noticed last time I had this, I had eatn a greasy burger, with salty fries, coffee and was extremely stressed.

I might have Afib but I think more so I had a heart rhythm irregularity on this occassion due to all of those negative stimulants.

I wasn't experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath or even dizziness

Any idea what this could have been and if the factors I listed might have caused it? I think I know but just checking to see for reference

Thanks
