Hi,
Sinus tachycardia could be because of anxiety or stress or could be because of fever, infection or certain heart conditions. But as you have a normal Echo report you need not worry. Just rule out whether you have any of the condition I have stated above and get a repeat ECG done when conditions are normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
