Sinus Tachycardia? Not sure what is wrong?

I was out having dinner one night and all of a sudden i felt as if i couldnt breathe, had no saliva, my left arm and chest was tingling, couldnt walk properly (legs were weak), i couldnt even communicate and answer any questions.

anyway i was rushed to the hospital ( it wasnt an allergic reaction ) and they ran an ECG as well as blood tests which all came back normal apart from the fact that my heart rate was sky high and wouldnt come down. i was sent home and given some pills for anxiety.

for the next two weeks i still wasnt feeling 100% normal and i didnt really have an appetite.

throughout the day it was fluctuate and i would go through times of feeling fine and then all of a sudden i would feel really weird.

although i felt like this it wasnt nearly as bad a i felt that first night. one day while at the mall as soon as i finished a meal i began feeling a lot like that night and immediately went to lie down which seemed to help

anyway i booked an appointment with the doctor and they found that my heart rate would spike to quickly and said that i had Sinus Tachycardia. i was put on half a tablet of cardicor to regulate my heart rate.

everyday i test my hart rate and everything is normal yet i still dont feel quite right.

when exercising i cant even run for 1 minute before im exhausted and my legs are fatigued. also i go through spells of feeling really down and sort of dizzy. my legs also feel really weak a lot of the time and i notice that i do get heart palpitations throughout the day.

please can anyone give any advice on whether or not this is normal for sinus tachycardia or whether you think it could be something else. the problem is im a dental student and have to see patients and attend lectures through the day and i cant seem to do that went going through those "weird" spells during the day.

thanks...
