I recommend you to get an ECG done for this. Your symptoms does favor a cardiac origin, so it is good to get it tested for the benefit of doubt.
hi,thanks for query,please visit your doctor and get proper diagnosis.There are many reasons for fast heart rate like anxiety,some drinks,drugs,some cardiac problem etc.You need to have your blood pressure and ekg done to evaulate your symptoms.Take rest and avoid too much of strain by the time you visit doctor.
