At your age it is: normal to have some pulse rate variability. Without knowing absolute numbers nothing additional can be advised. Your interpretation of "extremely fast" may well be within normal limits. If you are concerned you should see a health care provider and ask for a 24 hour monitor in order to define exactly what is going on.
