HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best for you to be seen by your doctor. A heart rate of 120 is very high.
An ECG and blood tests are needed to determine the cause.
At least a complete blood count (to check for anemia) and thyroid function tests are needed.
Treatment would depend on the cause found.
I hope this helps
