hello and pleased to help you
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a diagnosis of exclusion. Some diseases cause of appropriate sinus tachycardia must first be excluded. Those diseases are, Hyperthyroidism, Cardiomyopathy, Pheochromocytoma, Anemia…etc.
If these causes have been excluded, then IST can be evaluated. Patients with IST usually have average daily heart rates in excess of 100 BPM.
I urge you to consult an internal medicine physician to excludes the diseases mentioned before urgently. all documents about your health will be at great interest to your internal medicine doctor
May this help you and best wishes.
