Tachycardia: Tough to say without an exam, but an anxiety condition can cause these symptoms along with several other possibilities. Get an exam and be diagnosed. Get well soon.

May be anxiety: Control of anxiety may help symptoms. Work with a counsellor and your psychiatrist on optimal medication and behavioral interventions.
