Does getting a shot cause an increased heart rate, indicating heart disease?

Patient's question:

My aunt had severe pain two days ago and couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to the hospital and took medicine. However, after taking the medicine, her heart rate increased, and she had difficulty breathing. But later, it gradually improved. I want to ask if this recurrence is due to an allergy to the medication or if she has undetected heart disease? Seeking an answer!

Doctor's answer:

Currently, this situation does not seem to be a manifestation of heart disease. It is likely caused by relatively high stress levels. It is recommended to pay attention to appropriate relaxation. If this symptom of tachycardia recurs repeatedly, and accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness or palpitations, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation, such as a dynamic ECG and cardiac ultrasound, to rule out the possibility of organic heart disease.
