Hello
This may just be a benign sinus tachycardia but you need a full cardiac workup--EKG. echocardiogram, and stress test to evaluate it.
You also need to be checked for hyperthyroidism--an overactive thyroid gland.
You may need a beta blocker medication like propranolol or metoprolol to slow down your heart rate into the 60's-70's range
