HI

First of all immediately go to Emergency department and get a ECG .

What you are having is called an Arrhythmia it some times can be fatal . Also the chest pain you are having is not a good sign . It could be a Heart attack . Better go immediately , get ECG , 2D echo and a cardiac consult .

Your cardiologist will prescribe a medicine called beta blockers which will reduce yor heart rate and give you symptomatic relief .
