Overview

Tachycardia can be caused by a wide variety of factors. The most common cause is orthostatic hypotension. Other common causes of tachycardia include endocrine disorders, disorders involving the heart, and situations which cause an excess of catecholamines in the body such as fever and exercise. Various medications and illicit drugs can also cause tachycardia.
