With my anxiety and tachycardia (I had rates up in the 160's and my EKG's were all normal, just fast heart rate with panic), I also would get increased heart rate with eating and doing any little thing. It is much better now, but it took a lot of time. I was so focused on my heart rate, that anytime I noticed it going a little fast, I would get panicky. I now try to calm myself when this happens which does help.
