Brief Answer:
Your heart rate is too high indeed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Your pulse is too high indeed.
Such pulse can be caused by several reasons. It is hard to give the exact reason not knowing about addition symptoms.
In general elevated heart rate can be caused by dehydration, ions deficiency, stress, heart failure, inflammation, hyperthyroidism.
If you urinate less than usually, your urine is dark, dehydration can be the reason.
If you have muscle cramps (calf cramps), nervousness, ions deficiency can be the reason.
Heart failure usually gives shortness of breath, leg swelling.
Inflammation gives also fever.
Hyperthyroidism is associated with nervousness, sweating, diarrhea.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
101 is a little too high.
Detailed Answer:
101 is still a little bit too high. However if you feel stressed somehow, it can be the main reason. Please try to relax, add some Magnesium to your diet and see if it will go down. If not, consult your doctor and consider mentioned above reasons.
