- it be due to a variety of reasons from anxiety to more serious problems
-she should undergo proper cardiac evaluation including EKG, echocardiography
-about drugs there drugs called beta blockers which control BP and heart rate simultaneously
- so visit your doctor and get evaluated and treatment optimized
thank you
