A lot to unravel : While this could be anxiety/panic attacks or even possible medication side effects, behavioral causes need to be a diagnosis of exclusion. I’d be curious, are you overweight? Underweight? Any rash? Joint issues? High blood pressure? Rare things I always like to consider with tachycardia and enlarged liver are hyperthyroidism, autoimmune hepatitis, and lupus.
