Hello. Thanks for posting at Chat Doctor. I have gone through your history. Tb infections of the lung even after complete treatment leave scar marks (fibrosis) on the lungs. It is like a wound on the skin which heals with medications but wound scar persist. So wit every TB infection, part of the lung gets scarred or fibrosis. This scarring causes a decrease in the long capacities.  This doesn't cause immediate problems but with age the problems may become apparent. It may cause breathlessness, cough and fast heart rate. Fast heart rate is not a direct result but occurs due to breathlessness and cough. I recommend you do a pulmonary function test which requires you to blow forcefully onto a machine which calculates your lung volumes. Another cause of tachycardia and chest pain can be angina or heart issues. Please do an ECG, 2/d echo and treadmill test to evaluate for a heart problem. Please revert with the above tests. Wishing you good health. Regards
