Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
What you are reporting seems like paroxysmal supra ventricular tachycardia which is a benign tachycardia and you shouldn't worry about it. In most of the cases vagal manoeuvre including sipping cold water terminate tachycardia.
Hope this will be of help!
