Heat or paranoia.

I was playin a couple of days ago in South Lake Tahoe, at the Monte Blue. I was playing SD and was doin pretty well. It was early in the morning and I was the only one in the casino. The florr chnged decks about an hour after I started playing (which seems normal), but then he switched them again about 20 minutes later. I took this as a sign that I was getting unwanted attention and played a few hands declared that deck as unlucky to the dealer and cashed out. Did I do the right thing in this situation or was I just being paranoid?

Could be several things---all get attention of sort

If the procedure is to change decks each hour and they change the deck in 20 minutes it could be several things.
A card/cards could be bent.
The pit might be checking to see if some cards are marked.
The pit might be superstitious and wants new cards to stop your winning.
It might be their first move telling you that they want you to leave.
