Had Chest Pain And Headache. What Could Be Problem?

Hi, i am a 21 year old female, in the past 6 months i have had multiple episodes of being light headed, my heart beats really fast, i find it hard to breathe and my chest becomes heavy and i get the shakes. The last time this happened I had chest pain, the time before that it woke me up in the middle of the night and I threw up. I went to urgent care yesterday and had had an ECG done, i now have to see a cardiologist because he said my heart rate was fast, it was 86 bpm, i also have had headaches everyday for the past 2 weeks and although advil helps as soon as it wears off, te headache returns, what could be going on??

You could have an abnormal heart beat. This will likely need to be evaluated with a holter monitor to monitor your heartbeat when you are out walking around etc. You will need to be officially evaluated.
