Tachycardia: Usually there is some variation in heart rate and we can get tachycardia but if you drink caffeinated beverages or alcohol that can cause a fast heart rate, check thyroid,, if on BCP rarely can have a clot that can be potentiated by BCP . rarely POTS(postural hypotension tachycardia syndrome) or arrythmia . Go to ER tonight to get evaluated
