Treatment?
This would depend on several factors?
Fast or slow rate?
Symptoms or not?
Nature or the rate/rhythm disturbances.
Yes if you are having symptoms you should call EMS and get medical attention. Please do not drive yourself since this can result in accidents if your condition becomes worse... fainting, dizziness...
If totally fine, call your Medical Doctor for an initial evaluation and lab work!
Hopefully this points you in the right direction.
Thanks.

You first must determine what that is by placing a heart monitor.
