Hi welcome to HCM
Tachycardia with normal ECG and Holter is stress and anxiety related.So do not worry.check your blood pressure everyday.Drugs like Metoprolol will be helpful if you have these symptoms recurrently.Maternal tachycardia occurs dueto feto placental insufficiency,it should come down by 6weeks postpartum.Avoid anxiety consult cardiologist for better treatment options.
Thankyou
