Hi,
You may be suffering from cardiac arrhythmia. You may need to check it for what type of arrhythmia it is.
In panic attacks or anaemia or hypovolemia or hyperthyroidism may present like this but it won't cause this much high heart rate.
Carotid sinus massage may give rise to some relief. But you have to go ER if feeling symptomatic arrhythmia. Then the doctor examines and treats you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
