Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. If the heart rate is frequently above 140 during rest period, that is tachycardia and you should get help of a physician in determining the problem. Usually infrequent high heart rates are due to anxiety or stress. He is already Asperger and anxiety can be explained. Still, I suggest you to consult a physician.

Good luck. Take care.
