Mctd tachycardia upon excursion and flushing. doc putting me on calcium channel blocker till i see rhuemy. ekg &stress normal. i need a second opinion?

Tachycardia & CTD: Connective tissue disease can be associated with cardiovascular disease. I would recommend doing echo, stress test and Heart monitor. The connective tissue disease needs to be under good control. Calcium channel blocker and beta blocker can work here and increase fluid intake and avoid caffeine.
