Hello,
Without being able to review your ECG/EKG (electrocardiogram) to confirm the description, depending of the age of the patient the final conclusion could be normal or sinus tachycardia. This is because the resting heart rate depends on the age (infants have higher rates). Sinus tachycardia means that the heart's own pacemaker is making the heart beat faster than normal (by definition >100 beats per minute). There many reasons to explain a sinus tachycardia, where the history of the patient, the physical exam and lab work (when needed), can help you getting to the diagnosis.
You should visit the physician that ordered the EKG to discuss about the possible explanation for this finding.

Best wishes
