See MD: Go see your Dr today, or if no appt available, then go to an urgent care, and/or an ER so that you can get an EKG while your heart rate is up. It is important to get the EKG while your pulse is up in order to get the proper diagnosis so don’t wait! if it were me, I would go to the nearest urgent care or ER otherwise you may have to wait another 2 months to get the diagnosis!

Cardiac arrhythmia : Sudden onset of a very fast heart rate is usually caused by a heart rhythm problem. If you have it currently then call 911. If the fast heart rate is resolved, you’ll still need evaluation with a cardiologist. Blood tests, echocardiogram, heart monitor all needed. Because you’re young an EP study may be indicated and an ablation of the abnormal electrical pathway could be necessary. Good luck!
