Sinus tachycardia help

I was diagnosed with Sinus Tachycardia - had antiboitcs as my bloods came back with white being super high (fighting an unknown Infection) and my reds were really low (carrying the oxygen) which did not help at all. I can't have caffiene, booze, junkfood, really hot showers or sitting in the sun or standing up more than a minute or so-still can do but i know it will increase my heartrate. Told it was'nt serious by the doctor then the Cardiologist forgot to organise (2months ago mind you) my holter monitor for 24hrs to determine what rythym I have so they know which pills to prescribe me, at first both my ECK's came back normal rythym but they said after the first dose of anti-botics it should of gone away but 3 months later I still have it ( not as bad as it was but very annoying) My pulse is up 90% of the day even doing light housework or a small glass of wine, working fulltime is a nightmare as im in an office staring at a pc screen all day from 8am-5.30pm.Im a light sleeper as well which doesnt help-find it uncomfy to lay on the left side.

Im 25yrs old - female-no other medical conditions-was fine up until last december..how can you not know your body has an infection and causes all this???

Any ideas as to what else I can do to get healthy and fight this?

Ive been told the new liquid fish oil (flavoured and is equivalent to 25x fish oil caplets) so is the best so far-havent brought any yet but any other ideas-also been doing green smoothies and trying to eat healthy at least 80% of the day

>>>>>If you have a fever that would indicte you have an infection.  If your heart rate is below 100 that is considered normal, and a consistently fast pulse may signal an infection or dehydration, but that should be a dx and not self analysis.  A fast heart rate also leads to increased work and oxygen demand by the heart, which can lead to rate related ischemia (lower than normal blood/oxygen flow to meet demand).  The heart's energy source for viable activity is oxygen as opposed to seletal muscle that rely on calories.

A healthy diet is known to be beneficial of one's health, and should be followed regardless of current health condition.  Fish in the diet once or twice a week is known to help heart condtions, at least that is what one reads.  Fish oil when be a good substitute.

Thanks for your question, take care,

Ken
