Pulse rate raise up to 100-120 for a week already

Hello,
My 84 years old grandmother is on Pauling Therapy for more than a year now & besides some problems with gallstones & abdominal pain (it was occasional for several years, then often, then recently almost disappeared) she felt pretty well until recently. Unfortunately we are puzzled now with her pulse rate that gone up to ~100-120 beats per minute more than a week ago & still keeps being that high. She takes a lot of VC (we try to give her about 2500mg each hour or so & what interesting is that it doesn't hit bowel tolerance), Taurine, L-lysine, B-100, Iron (she has low hemoglobin), D&K, B-6, Niacin, Potassium, Magnesium, Glycin & Q10. She also tried to take some beta-blockers again for couple of days now (we quit taking them for a long time as Owen & Johnwen adviced here & it was all good), but it didn't made any difference so I guess we'll quit them (gradually) again.
What interesting is that she feels completely ok most of the time (some heart pain is there several times a day, but don't last for long) & doesn't even understand why we are so worried about her pulse. I saw her great improvement on VC & looks like it was the main cure for her abdominal pain wich almost disappeared now. As I wrote in other topic here - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11994 - when she was diagnosed with gallstones it was also discovered that she has "something" in her intestine, cecal polyp or even tumor wich requires further diagnostic but at her age and low pain threshhold that she had all her life there's really no options for us to know 100% what it is. What interesting is that the pain is actually gone for some time already (before pulse gone high) & as I wrote already she was all ok until this recent pulse rate change. I'm sorry but I also would like to note that a week or so ago, couple of days before the pulse gone that high, she noticed the change in the smell of urine - it became very strong (now the smell is not that strong but still more noticable than before (& there were no changes in the diet & water consumption). Also there was very strong pain in the small of the back for couple of days, but it can be just a coincidence.
Doctors came to see her & did EKG - everything is ok, her heart is ok & there's no bad changes & their main theory again is that the cause is that "mass" in her intestines. So I would be appreciated for any thoughts & advice on this. I'm not professional but is it possible that she indeed had a tumor in her intestines & her daily intake of VC started to cure her so at first her pain gone & then the tumor started to "break down" & come out naturally & that's why her urine smell changed & heart started to pump faster in order to remove it (take it out) of her body (like Herxheimer Reaction)?
Thank you!
