Can Sinus Tachycardia Be Related To Acne?

Is there any way sinus tachycardia can be related to my acne? I ve had both for years (6-7 years) and doctors told me that it was all because of puberty. Which of course can be true but what are chances that those two are symptoms and if I ll have a right diagnosis, it can be cured. Acne is so painful, sometimes I can t even rest my had on a pillow if it s touching my skin; and having sinus tachycardia + arrhythmia (100-110 + bpm) isn t pleasant either. So both of them have making me hate myself for years. Which doctor should I see first and what should I ask them to get the answer that not includes oh, it s because of puberty, it s nothing

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Since the acne is painful and pain can cause alterations in the heart rate, you may want to consider having this assessed first.

That may be best assessed by a dermatologist or doctor who specializes in skin disorders.

After the acne is appropriately treated, then you can consider an ECG to take a look at the heart rate along with blood tests to rule out anemia or high thyroid hormone levels.
Both of these can also affect the heart rate.

I hope this helps
