What Causes Sinus Tachycardia?

I have sinus tachycardia. My cardiologist said it is cause by something outside of the heart. I had graves disease years ago and had the thyroid irradiated 20 years ago. My TSH is right in the middle now. I also have great trouble sleeping. Sometimes I seem very overactive. In the last several months I have had problems waking because of being too hot. I am 67 and long past menopause. I am gluten intolerant with stable GI problems.
