High pulse rate is called as tachycardia. As your TMT and Echo are normal , apparently no organic heart disease is present. If high pulse rate is episodic then Holter monitoring should be performed which is out patient investigation in which 24 hour ECG recording is performed to rule out arrhythmias. If not episodic and inappropriate to clinical situation then metabolic problems like Hyperthyroidism should be ruled out by blood test (T3,T4,TSH), particularly if there is weight loss with well preserved appetite.
