What Causes Heartbeat Rate Of 142?

Hello Dr.

I am 21 years old, not married, I have an abdominal problem, my stomache blows up and it gets painful, although it has nothing to do with menstrual nor constipation. When I went to check my dr. I found out I have a 142 heartbeat rate. What could cause this rapidness? Please help. I am extremely afraid
