Hi There
I understand your concern for your daughter health and i would like to tell you that sinus tachycardia up to a rate of 180 is NOT life threatening but can definitely cause weakness and giddiness and some time black out also.
Its advisable that you should consult a cardiologist for her detailed evaluation and also adjustment of her medication to control heart rate.
I wish her good health
