Abnormal: Your symptoms do sound like SVT or some form of arrhythmia. Chest pain is a concern therefore if it is happening now you need to go to your nearest ER or urgent care clinic now. It is not appropriate to wait around until Friday

Palpitations: could be SVT, atrial fibrillations, or even runs of VT. Unless ECG is done at the time of symptoms, it is not possible to diagnose it. If u have symptoms then present to ER as you may not have the symptoms when u see the cardiologist. They may have to put u on holter monitoring if u are asymptomatic at the time of cardiologist appointment.

Specializes in Urgent Care

ER: 911 ER immediately. With your symptoms you need hospital admission and telemetry to ensure rare control and blood pressure control. You have unstable tachycardia evidenced by your dizziness and shortness of breath your tachycardia needs urgent EKG and telemetry monitoring. Unstable tachycardia gets shocked but if stable you can get medicine see MD ASAP.
