Hi welcome to hcm
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of Sinus tachycardia that can be due to stress and anxiety.I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo,lipid profile,chest x ray,CBC to rule out any cardiac pathology.Tachycardia is when heart beats > 100/min (Normal range being 60-100).So your heart rate is in the higher note.It should be evaluated and treated immediately or else it will lead to Arrhythmias of heart.Drugs like Metoprolol will be helpful in your case.Depending on your blood workup you need to use lipid lowering drugs,anti hypertensives..Avoid stress and anxiety.Restrict fatty foods.Exercise regularly.Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
