I had an ecg report with 105bpm. Diagnosis analysis saying "sinus tachycardia otherwise normal" I was quite stressed during the test. Is there any problem?

Slightly fast rate might be due to stress. Monitor your pulse rate. If it continues to be high even in relaxed, resting state then investigation and consultation are required. Meanwhile try to reduce stress by regular exercise, yoga, and adequate rest.
