Hello, Its most important that we find what is the rhythm of the heart when the heart rate is rapid, find the cause and treat it rather than just lowering the heart rate like electrolyte imbalance, anemia, an ECG during such episode will be helpful. If its normal increase, which is common due to increased need of body because of infection, decreasing it will not help.  However, you may discuss with your doctor alternative to Diem like beta blocker group, gabardine or verapamil.  Regards
