Hello

You probably are getting events of PSVT (PAROXYSMAL SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA), to confirm this you need to quickly get one ECG done while you are having those episodes of fast heart rate to get the condition diagnosed.

Dont worry you are not gonna die with that, dont be stressed as stress aslso causes fast heart rate.

Take Care
