Answers:
I don't want to ask you, were you checked for such and such because you were clear about having everything that can cause Tachycardia checked!. I hope that you are not drinking too much coffee, tea or alcoholic beverages!. You can also take a look at my previous replies to your questions if you have not already done so!.

This also can be a condition called postural orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome which is usually associated with chronic fatigue!.

Have you had an Echocardiogram!? Ever seen a cardiologist for this tachyacrdia!? There is an arrythmia called sinus node re-entry Tachycardia that can look exactly like sinus Tachycardia!.

There are medications that can slow the heart rate and not affect the blood pressure like Digoxin and amiodarone!.

Tachycardia on the long run can cause cardiomyapthy but this is more related to ectopic atrial Tachycardia and ventricular Tachycardia and not sinus Tachycardia!.

At this point, if you have not seen a cardiologist specialized in arrhytmias, my advice is to do so and have a specialized study called electrophysiologic study (e!. p!. s!.) to see whether this is truly sinus Tachycardia or if it is another supraventricular Arrhythmia disguising as sinus Tachycardia!.
