Dealing with a High Heart Rate...

It doesn't sound like a big deal right? Your heart rate is higher than normal? Well, it is what I deal with, and to tell you the truth, it sucks. I can't have caffeine, or much chocolate. I have to constantly watch my heart rate when i exercise, and the slightest amount of stress sets it off... The doctors think that it is anxiety related as all the tests have shown that my heart is healthy, it just beats too fast. I take medicine for it, but it is a real pain. Does anyone else have a similar problem? And if so, how do you deal with it?

i have a heart condition which i was born with. for the most part, doctors said I should be fine, but stress and my anxiety cause me to have tacycardia (which is an abnormal heart rate). And if i drink too much caffeine, i usually end up experiencing problems or if i eat chocolate too much which sucks because i love chocolate and dr pepper!!!
