Understanding your concern. As per your query you have rapid heart rate and tremor . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like side effect of certain medications , rheumatoid arthritis , viral syndrome , hormonal imbalance , in some cases the symptoms also infections, sleep apnea, acid reflux, and hypoglycemia . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order urine test , blood test , along with physical examination , ECG and check vitals . Doctor may refer you to gynecologist in case of in case of hormonal imbalance . For now drink plenty of water , do light exercises like brisk walking , take over the counter antihistamine like benadryl twice a day and if you are taking any medicine currently then consult with doctor who prescribed this medicine and discuss the condition , Doctor may prescribe substitute.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
