Tecfidera and increased heart rate

Hi all, I started Tecfidera several weeks ago I am now on full dose. Since a couple of days my heart rate is really high. Went to the GP and he gave me some beta blockers to decrease the heart rate , my GP suspects that the stress is the cause. Is there anyone who experienced this with Tecfidera?
