Myocardial infarctio: Chest pain, and possible myocardial infarction @age 50----you should either go to nearest er or be in the hospital. It is immaterial whether you have tachycardia or not. I could be of help if the question is clear.

Sinus tachycardia: Sinus tachycardia refers to a faster than normal heart rate. Usually higher than 100 beats/minute. Please see your pcp for further evaluation for chest pain.
