Hi There
I have read the details provided by you and i would like to tell you that as you have a very strong family history of multiple medical illnesses so you need to be very vigilant.
First of all i would like to tell you that a fast heart rate is neither an indicative of Diabetes nor of High bp.
Now i want to tell you that during pregnancy lot of haemodynamic changes happens through out the body, as you are in your first trimester during this time there is a significant increase in BLOOD VOLUME due to which TACHYCARDIA(Fast Heart Rate) occurs and also another important reason of unusual tachycardia is ANAEMIA during pregnancy, if you have not started your IRON FOLIC ACID TABLETS you better start them and start your ANTENATAL clinic visits.
Good Luck
