Hi,
You can check your pulse rate and maintain a chart. Check whether the rate is always keeps higher number or it is transient rise.
Do a thyroid function test as hyperthyroidism can cause elevated pulse rate.
If pulse rate is persistently high, you might require drugs like Metoprolol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
