Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think that the doctors didn't give you Remicade because of the possible cardiac side effects in a person with tachycardia.
I recommend you to go to the cardiologist to do an ECG, a cardiac sonography and a 24 hours ECG holter Monitoring to see your heart health.
If everything is fine and you have just sinus tachycardia, you may need a beta blocker.
All the best!
