Brief Answer:
You are fine!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this increased heart rate. For now, it is not dangerous though higher than the upper limit of 100. Get some rest and stop being too worried as those are the very reasons why it is increasing than before. If it persist, then measure your blood pressure and report both to me for more insights and guidance.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
