Detailed answer.....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You definitely need to be concerned since you are already a patient of hypertension and on anti hypertensive medications.
A fast heart rate with shortness of breath could be a angina or even a silent type heart attack.
You must immediately rush to ER and get yourself investigated and treated properly.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
