Hello,
It's most important that we find what is the rhythm of the heart when the heart rate is rapid, find the cause and treat it rather than just lowering the heart rate like electrolyte imbalance, anemia , a ecg during such episode will be helpful . If it's normal increase, which is common due to increased need of body because of infection, decreasing it will not help. However you may discuss with your doctor alternative to dilzem like beta blocker group, ivabradine or verpamil.
Regards
