I think that it would be safest to see a physician as soon as possible. If your heart rate was really 199 then you may have a cardiac rhythm or conduction abnormality. There are several inherited syndromes that may affect young people (yes, you are young). If you cannot see your personal physician quickly go to an ER and get an EKG and an examination.
