Have this evaluated: It is not normal for an otherwise healthy 20 year old to have a sustained heart rate of 120, especially with the symptoms of fatigue noted. This should be evaluated by a health care provider to check for a type of anemia, dehydration, or thyroid disorder to name a few possibilities that may require treatment.
