Reason For Electric Shock Feeling In Heart?

Last night while asleep I had what felt like an electric shock to my heart. I don t mean my chest I mean my heart. I woke up feeling a little uneasy but returned to sleep without further incident. My family has a history of heart disease and was wondering if I should get this checked out.
