Suggest Treatment For Rapid Heartrate

I was at the hospital the other night with severe side pain and I have indometreosis so I thought maybe it was up to something, they told me my licopene was up too high and it was either my gallbladder or my pancreas, they did a CT and said it seemed ok. So I go home and took the meds they gave me its been a week and my side up under my ribs still really hurts, I have some gallbladder symptoms because I've had them before, heartburn, pressure in my chest, feels like Im having a heart attack sometimes even into my arm. So I believe it may be that. But while at the ER my heart rate was at 121 Im on blood pressure medication I thought that would take care of the problem, but I have a blood pressure cuff of my own that also tells your heart rate, even on my meds my blood pressure can sometimes get to 170 over 112 or higher and Im only 25 years old! my heart rate stays in the general area of 120 I dont know what to do, no one seems as worried as me! please help!

The pain itself can accelerate your heart rate. It is a physiological response.
Other than that stress, anxiety and panic also send the heart rate shooting up.
Only certain classes of blood pressure medicines e.g. beta blockers , control the heart rate, not all of them.
You need better blood pressure control and a beta blocker if your not already on one.
Also get your thyroid function checked since hyperthyroidism can also cause tachycardia.
