Hi,

If no specific clinical symptoms are there like fatigue, dyspnea, (breathing difficulty on exertion) then it is nothing to worry. If the heart rate is more than 110 bpm, if the EKG is unremarkable then it could be anxiety that might be increasing the heart rate. Therefore, try to come out of this and stop reading the heart rate on your own without any reason, actually, it has to be tested by a physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
