Hello,
The normal recommended heart rate for an adult is between 60 and 100. So your heart rate is well within normal range. As you have mentioned you had severe pain, heart rate also increases in response to certain stressful conditions like anxiety, pain, anger, fear with to increased sympathetic stimulation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
