What Causes Increased Heart Rate?

My resting heart beat is 110 BPM... im not over weight, I am 115 at 18 years old... my heart rate seems to be increasing almost all day. Its normal one min. then the next its skyrocketed. Doctors can never get a good blood pressure count from me because of this. What could be the cause of this?

Cardiologist 's  Response
Welcome to HCM

Anaemia / Anxiety / Alcohol / Tobacco / Caffeine (too much tea, coffee, cola) / Fever / Infection / Pain / Thyroid / abnormal nerve paths in the heart (bypass tracts) or disease of the conduction system – are a few causes…

The first step is to see a Cardiologist / get DOCUMENTED by ElectroCardioGram (EKG). If standard ECG does not show, one needs Holter or event monitor.
