Hello,
I think you should get back to your cardiologist and report this issue to him/her. We should understand first why this increased heart rate instead of lowering it?
Keep monitoring your blood pressure, and heart rate, record the results for reference.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
