Your father needs to be evaluated for the tachycardia that he is having..it might be serious for his age.. once cause is made out, we can think of treating and managing it.. Get a ECHO and a ECG done for your father and discuss with the cardioloist..Resting pulse rate should not cross 100 beats per minute.
