Sinus tachycardia: Inappropriate sinus tachycardia refers to increased resting heart rate and may be due to fever, hyperthyroidism, anxiety, caffeine,alcohol, nicotine, certain stimulant medications, severe anemia. A normal resting heart rate ranges from 55-90. Your physician can document your heart rate and rhythm by a resting EKG and an outpatient holter monitor tracing. Other tests will also be ordered.
