Follow up as outpatient with a cardiologist or primary care doc is recommended along with taking meds as prescribed. Chances are that the condition will come back if no changes made and recommendations followed.

It is imperative to know what the actual heart rhythm was at the time of the rapid rate. If it was simple sinus tachycardia secondary to anxiety reaction you may not have to take further med. If it was a bout of supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter,for example,recurrences could occur. Ensure that the cardiologist you consult gets a report of your ER EKG,treatment, labs
