Multifactoral: heart rate can be high for many reasons. ADHD meds may calm your brain but its still a stimulant. Any energy drinks,caffeine, decongestants, natural supplements,occult infections like UTI, thyroid overactivity, etc. Some times we just don't know and its called inappropriate sinus tachycardia syndrome.If a thorough work up- labs, urine, imaging are done, and still a problem-meds like b-block vs EPS

On my ecg my heart rate speed up from 74 to 94 so it has two different rates. Does this mean the Automated qt and qtc will be incorrect? Due to my sinus arrhythmia.
