Maybe. There are so many reasons!!
Yes
Any illness that stresses your system can cause a sinus tachycardia, and Covid qualifies.
Hope you feel better.

The simple answer is yes. One of the complications of Covid-19 is myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart muscle. The heart is unable to contract strongly to produce a good outflow. The heart tries to compensate by beating fast (tachycardia).
Good luck.
