Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Caffeine is one of the most common cause for fast heart rate...
It is concentrated both in coffee and energy drink.
The amount you have consumed is also very high.
Take care - it may be dangerous...
It is wiser to see a doctor.

Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
