Are heart palpitations, arrhythmias and shortness of breath dangerous and what to do?

Ask
Hello doctor! I am 19 years old this year, I came home from work today and suddenly felt my heart beating fast and my breathing short. I went out to the pharmacy and asked for a blood pressure test, the blood pressure was normal, the heart beat was unstable, the heart rate was 130 beats/min. Can the doctor tell me, is my heart palpitations, arrhythmias and shortness of breath dangerous and what needs to be done to improve? Thank you.
