Welcome to the forum and I've read your posting and complaint.
Endometrial hyperplasia is actually quite common and results from estrogen production in the absence of progesterone production, or sometimes simply an imbalance in this context. Progesterone expression is necessary for the uterine lining to shed and in the absence of doing so, causes a thickening of the endometrium.
It's important when making inquiry to specifically state the type of birth control you have been prescribed, since I am unable to discern enough information from taking the "pill." Regardless, initial therapy of this type can induce physiological manifestations, on occasion inappropriate sinus tachycardia. I will share with you, however, that a rate of 117 is extremely mild and rates well above 160 have been observed with no harmful effects and frankly, the act of exercise can regularly induce heart rates in this range and higher with no risks.
Indeed, anxiety and panic disorder can cause sinus tachycardia of the type described and measures to control this factor most often results in a corresponding reduction in physical symptoms as well. If any gastrointestinal disturbances are present, then this also constitutes a potential causal factor.
At 31 years of age, the absolute last concern you should have is the possible presence of heart disease or anomaly in that regard. This is not a sign of heart trouble whatsoever, so you can take a breath and relax.
I see nothing of your description that would suggest anything serious to be wrong with you at all. You need to relax and work with your primary care physician or specialist until measures are found that provide relief and again, realize that tachycardia of the type you are experiencing is not life-threatening in any context. You'll be just fine.
