SVT: You're describing symptoms of a tachycardia - in your age group, probably svt but can be other things. You need a cardiac evaluation to rule out serious conditions. That said, the majority of 21 year olds will be found to have a healthy heart with "abnormal wiring" which was present since birth. Depending on frequency, it can be treated with meds or ablated with radio-frequency.
