What did your doctor say about this high heart rate and the nausea and wanting to vomit? That sounds a bit extreme, and pushing through it doesn't sound healthy. Atrial fibrillation is very common in competitive athletes, both young and older, because of the stress placed on the heart. In fact, most young people with afib got it from running and other high-intensity sports such as rowing and basketball. I'm surprised the doctor hasn't suggested having you wear a Holter monitor for 24-48 hours to record the heart, especially during exercise.
