What Causes Elevated Resting Heart Rate?
My resting heart rate is approximately 95 bpm when it used to be about 70 2a little more than one year ago. I had an EKG, ultrasound and echocardiogram which were all normal. My sleep is not very good and that has been going on for probably a couple years. Could that be one of the reasons or are there other things to come that will explain why my resting heart rate has increased so much.

Hello,
As the cardiac causes has been ruled out, We have to look for causes like thyroid disorders.
Do thyroid function test (TFT).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
