Hi. I understand your concern s. There are fine lines between everything. So do not insist on a machine or anything. She will need to undergo a detailed examination for the cause of tachycardia if all other symptoms are settled. She may need holter monitoring as well. Consult a doctor whom you can trust on and please keep a regular follow up.

Her medicines should be reviewed and should be evaluated for cause of tachycardia and then she can be started on medications for the same.
