General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Causes of tachycardia include:
* Heart-related conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension)
* Poor blood supply to the heart muscle due to coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis), heart valve disease, heart failure, heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy), tumors, or infections
* Other medical conditions such as thyroid disease, certain lung diseases, electrolyte imbalance, and alcohol or drug abuse
* Emotional stress or drinking large amounts of alcoholic or caffeinated beverages
Self medication is dangerous. Your high Temperament is due due to high B.P.
If you sleep in the day, you will not get good sleep during night. You should consult a Physician or a Cardiologist for evaluation, proper treatment & to prevent further damage to heart & other organs.
