High HR : This could be related to autonomic dysfunction. In simple language, this means the nervous system is not working properly to keep the hr lower. You might need a tilt table test, echocardiogram ; tsh. This can improve over time with proper hydration and gradually and slowly increasing level of activity to become athletic. In other words, you can over grow it. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.

Special ECG: The rhythm may not be arising from exactly the normal place, the sinus node. You may need special ecgs performed by a cardiac electrophysiogist to be sure of the rhythm. Some faster. Heart rhythms from other places in the heart can look normal but need a special treatment.
