Asking for Self, Male, 28 years old, Islamabad
I have ecg and echo as advised by some doctors here over my fast heart beat problem. I've shared the reports Kindly chk and advise.
Do you experience palpitations or shortness of breath? Is it constantly fast or you experience it intermittently.
The echo is normal and ecg shows fast heart rate. You should have your serum TSH done first to rule out metabolic cause. If it comes out normal you might need rhythm monitoring. For now get your thyroid profile done.

Better to get an extended one

Sorry it accidentally got deleted. Hope you got the answer. Better to have an extended one i.e. The thyroid profile. If comes out normal go for Holter for your intermittent symptoms
Echo & ECG both are quite Normal.
Now the question is why the heartbeat has increased..
According to your ECG the rhythm is sinus tachycardia.
Reason:
1. Strenuous exercise,
2. Fever,
3. Fear,
4. Stress,
5. Anxiety,
6. Certain medications, and
7. Street drugs,
8. Anemia,
9. Overactive thyroid,
There must be 1 or 2 or 3 of these reasons

Yes sir i have stress and anxiety. I do regular exercise at gym. And the heartbeats are more prominent when doing any activity like moving up or down in stairs etc and when laying on bed.

both tests are normal...there are so many other reasons for tachycardia or palpitation other than heart.
during exercise and activity heart rate should increase - This is Normal my dear .
Do you have increased heart rate all the time or this is off and on? Do you sweat more? How much is your blood pressure? You better check your thyroid profile. If you are troubled with palpitations then start some bblocker eg tab concor 2.5 mg od
ECG and echo r normal .Dont need further testing start tab inderal 10mg 1+1+1
