Hello,
Most probably it is due to pain or stress.
Her routine drugs will not cause tachycardia.
If symptoms persist better to consult a cardiologist and get evaluated.
Detailed evaluation is required including serial ECG and echo test to rule out any structural heart diseases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
