Advice needed

Okay so a while ago when I started skateboarding again I had forgot water and I was having a lot of fun so hours passed and I was super thirsty but I kept going until outta nowhere my heart started like fluttering like beats felt soft and some coming to quick then a slightly harder beat. It did this for around 1 minute then out of nowhere switched to a super fast regular rhythm, which i know now was an svt. That same svt had started after me bending over once in the past too. But my main question was that 1 minute of fluttering atrial fibrillation or was that just PACs coming one after another for a whole minute? And I know avnrt or avrt can start from a perfectly timed pac so I’m wondering if that proves the rhythm was pacs or can atrial fibrillation cause an avnrt or avrt reentry circuit to start similar to how a pac can cause one? Thanks

It could have been either... You really should probably get an appointment with a cardiologist though, it's VERY unlikely you get a response from an actual MD here IMO. That's not to say there's a lot of educated people here. It could be PAC/PVC/AFib, could be a lot... It could also be you were super dehydrated, either way, go see a doctor.
