Hi,

The symptoms you are telling could be related to the hormonal pills or just anxiety related tachycardia.

Before starting any specific treatment for it, I'll recommend you to first get a ECG and a 2D Echo done to rule out any possible cardiac relation to it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
