Hello and thank you for asking in HCM
I can understand your concern.
According to the history you are under treatment for tachycardia.
If i were your doctor and prior i would do some tests to exclude some problems other that anxiety as follows:
Blood count for anemia
Chest X Ray
TSH,FT4 for thyroid gland
Thyroid ultrasound
Abdominal ultrasound
Chatecholamins blood test hormones
If they come negative we can say is the stress situation.If any of them is positive than the relevant specialist will advise you further.
Hope you are doing well
Thank you
