Hi,
Tachycardia occurs when your heart suddenly starts beating very fast. If it happens as a result of exercise, excitement, or fever, it's usually not a cause for concern and doesn't need treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ajeet Singh, General & Family Physician
