See a doctor: Either you are VERY anemic, not counting your heart rate correctly, pushing yourself to an extreme, or in an abnormal heart rhythm. A rate of 200 in a healthy young adult, is generally not achievable. You need to see a doctor right away. Hopefully you'll find your heart wasn't beating 200 times/minute but if it was you've got a problem that needs attention.
