What Causes Palpitations And Chest Pain?

I have been given a diagnosis of inappropriate sinus tachycardia recently after bouts of high heart rate periods day and night with no obvious cause. I have been currently taking Ivabradine over the last month without being monitored and feel little improvement (still have palpitations and chest pain). Are there any other possible reasons I could be getting a fast heart rate and chest pain?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Apart from cardiac causes, tachycardia and chest pain are commonly seen with stress and anxiety.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Combination of Propranolol and flunarizine once daily at night is helpful for tachycardia and chest pain.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
