What Causes Increased Heart Rate?
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM! Your heart rate values are a little high, but this could be related to physical or emotional stress. But, considering your past medical history, I would recommend checking thyroid hormone levels to exclude a possible thyroid dysfunction. Hiatal hernia can play an important role in your increased heart rate too. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards, Dr. Iliri
