Tachycardia: You should see a doctor as soon as possible. You might have to be checked out for thyroid problems for rhythm problems with your heart.

EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!: Anxiety, chest pain and very high heart rate is a very bad combination.If you are still having those symptoms right now, this is a medical emergency. Call 911, chew up an Aspirin and call a neighbor, friend to wait with you for the ambulance. If symptoms have passed, you should call your doctor's office immediately, explain the situation and get advice. Unless i'm missing something, you're goinger.
