How do i know if i have heart disease. my pulse is thirty points higher due to antipsychotics. it never goes back down?

Side effects: Tachycardia is a common side effect of this type of medication, and doesn't indicate heart disease. If you are concerned, ask your doc. A good history of your symptoms and examination may be enough.
