Tachycardia: common causes of tachycardia - or a elevated heart rate is people are dehydrated. if your from india i am sure you are dehydrated from all the humidity in the air. drink plenty of fluids. if your heart still has an elevated rhythm obtain an EKG to determine if there is an abnormal electrical arrhythmia that needs to be treated. You may have PVC's or atrial fibrillation. get checked.

Body mass index 14.9: So I'm curious. Why did you use 2 different unit systems? Usually we think in pounds & feet or kilograms & meters. Anyway, your BMI (http://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/adult_bmi/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.html) calculates to 14.9 which is grossly underweight (less than 18.5). This, dehydration & medications (caffeine?) can make your heart rate fast (tachycardia). Go c ur doc
