Heart rate became too high - Scared & Seeking advice

Good morning docs! I am 28M, 5'8" weight 87.5 kg

Yesterday I went to the gym after having strong coffee. After some stretching I did 30 seconds of jumping jacks. After doing the jumping jacks my heart rate shot up very high (don't know exact measurements but approximately 180+) I also felt rushing and tingling sensation in my body. It subsided after 3-4 mins. There was no chest pain or tightness but felt uneasy throughout the morning. Things became normal after taking a nap.

Thing is I do exercises on and off but this has happened to me earlier when I did squats with high reps. It doesn't happen with other exercises pertaing to arms nd legs. Just with squats. Had the same sensation back then. But this is the first time happening with jumping jacks. (Although this is the first time I tried coffee before workout)

I want to know if Should I be worried and my future course of action. I am really scared now.

Please help me out and feel free to ask any questions if you need.
