Hi resting HR: Elevated sympathetic tone.Would check thyroid functions as hyperthyroidism is associated with elevated heart rate , and check for metanephrines in urine( pheochromocytoma which is associated with hypertension) as well as tilt test for postural tachycardia (POTS) which reflects autonomic regulation.
