Do you think I should get a second opinion?

So about 5 months ago my parents took me to a cardiologist to see why my heart rate was going up so high so the cardiologist did multiple ekg’s, x-ray of my chest, echocardiogram, 7 day holter monitor and they all came back to be okay, but I had low bp so he put me on florinef 0.1 once a day and half of that at night. It’s really helped my blood pressure and my hr somewhat but my hr still goes up to 150 bpm or more when just walking for like 5 minutes. I don’t understand why this happen if there’s nothing wrong with me. Should I still be concerned?

    It could be sinus trychadia. So yes I would get a second opinion. It took me getting a second opinion before being diagnosed with a heart condition. Which is controlled by a beta blocker

      He told me it was tachycardia and that the meds I was on would slow it.

      Ya that's the word I ment. Sorry. If the meds are not working then maybe you need a beta blocker or something.
