Your sister seems to have some heart troubles. If the heart rate escalates from 61 to 100-170, particularly with motion, it might be the result of a disorder known as "postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome" (POTS), which in a person can cause fatigue and chest pain. It's vital to consult a cardiologist who can diagnose the condition and recommend the best ways to deal with it.
