Wow, there is a lot to cover with this question so I will just try and hit the high points. Most everyone at some point in their life with get a rapid heart rate and irregular beats. Things that can cause these STRESS being a major one, caffeine, cold meds, tobacco, alcohol, any stimulant, thyroid disease, fever
lack of oxygen, hypoglycemia, prescription drugs, hyperventilation, anxiety, problems with the heart itself especially it's own conductions system.
You should seek attention if after resting for a good thirty minutes the heart rate stays around or above 140. You should seek attention immediately if you have shortness or breath and chest pain. Let me point out that panic attacks can give you these symptoms. But if you have never had a panic attack you will need to find out what is going on. When you become worried about the rapid heart rate you become stressed and this only contributes to the problem. Many people have to take anti anxiety meds to keep the problem in check. Others have to go on meds that work on the heart to keep it slow still others have to get implantable pacemakers or surgey to correct the heart condition. There is a lot you can google on this subject. If this happens a lot I would see my doctor and discuss the possibility of a Holter Monitor. It records what your heart does for 24 to 48 hours. You wear it as you go about your normal activities.
Good Luck
