Whether this happened but once, or has occurred many times, you should notify your physician. This appears to be a cardiac arrhythmia and could be dangerous, so, get this addressed today. If this happens again, prior to your visit, head to urgent care.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is an elevated heart rate that is spontaneous and may be accompanied with alarming symptoms. Depending upon what your baseline blood pressure is, if this is accompanied with those symptoms, SVT must be evaluated and treated in the emergency room setting. The first step is to determine if the heart rate is accurate with a heart monitor and ECG
