inappropriate sinus tachycardia?

Hello! I was woken up around 4a last night by my heart rate. It had gone up into the 120s and then would go down to the 80s and turn right back around to the 120s over and over again every few seconds. My chest felt tight, I had shivers/shakes, and my stomach felt upset - this was all onset after the tachy started. This same thing happened to me a few years ago. Thankfully last night it only lasted about 30-45 minutes. Is this just inappropriate sinus tachycardia? It did not feel anything like my SVT. Anyone else have this same issue? Thanks for taking the time to read!

Yes this sounds exactly like my heart arrhythmia. I’ve had what was described as a regularly unregular heart beat like this for many years, usually knocked back into sinus rhythm by a pill in the pocket approach on top of daily meds.
