Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
After going through the detailed medical history provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that from the symptoms detailed its initial impression goes in favour of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia which is happening transiently in your case.
I would like to review your recent previous medical reports including your recent ECGs. Kindly upload the reports.

                                    How is this diagnosed as it’s never happening long enough in order for me to get to emergency room.   And what would the treatment be if any

Hello again
Detailed Answer:
You can get a holter monitor attached (ambulatory ecg recorder) for 72 hrs and if we are lucky then probably some episode might happen during that time making it possible to document and then diagnose what exactly happens that time.
Treatment option can only be discussed after the diagnosis is confirmed.
