Generally speaking the foods that contain tyramine, such as cheese, dried yeast,red wine, bananas and chocolate in addition to caffeine can cause rapid heart rate or tachycardia.

Too much sugar does not help the situation. However, it depends on the person.

There are many causes for fast heart rate. Not sure if too much sugar is on the list. I would recommend you see a cardiologist for an evaluation so he or she can sort out the cause for your tachycardia.
