Hi,
I would explain that it is important performing some further tests to investigate for other possible causes of tachycardia:
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
Low dose of betablockers may be helpful, in case all the above tests result normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
