Sinus Tachycardia

I have been told by my Doctor that I have a Sinus Tachycardia and that just as it came it should also go away. I am taking a low dose of Toprol XL
which has helped restore daily living tremendously. I have had an Echo and my heart is fine. Also a stress test. I have been told it is ok to excercise, walking etc... But some days I get this pressure in the center of my chest and at times a palpatation or long lasting flutter will happen also.It is very annoying and frightening. I also experience shortness of breath with this pressure. My lungs are fine . I really want to exercise but I find I am afraid that the flutter that happens at times will start and not stop. It usually happens when I stop moving after I have even walked from one room to the next . I appreciate your taking the time to understand this situation . I am a 41 year old female I eat healthy but I need to lose about 45 pounds and I am also hypothyroid and on synthroid. If you have any input as to what this may be from and Have you seen Sinus Tachycardias just go away. I want to continue to exercise what is your thoughts on this.
Thank you for your time
Joy
