For my college major I had to do physical fitness testing. It came up on one of my tests that I have a heart problem as my pulse was much higher than it should be.
I went to my primary care physician and wound up having a ton of blood tests done and everything came back normal. Then I had a heart monitor for a month and one day the people watching my heart monitor called and told me to go to the ER because my heart rate was very high. I didn't go because it slowed back down and I felt fine.
Fast forward to after I got the heart monitor off. My PCP pretty much tells me that yes, I have a fast heart rate, but since the tests performed came back normal that I'm okay. I feel like she didn't even check the records though because she called me within less than 24 hours after they were sent to her.
Now it's been two months since then and I've been monitoring my heart rate with another monitor and my pulse is steadily climbing. The highest point being 156.
Is it safe to say that she was wrong and needs to do more testing?
I'm 22, skinny, but otherwise healthy and fit.

Yes. Your heart rate is not normal for a fit young man. If she doesn't play ball, find another doctor and get their opinion.
I don't know what more testing will do though. You know what's wrong with your body and you have records to show it.

Well I know that a fast heart rate is caused by something and that's what I'd like to find out.
