Cardiologist 's  Response
it can be a normal increased heart rate (sinus tachycardia) or abnormal heart beat called arrythmia

i would advice you get a ecg done

if ecg reveals it to be a sinus tachycardia then take
tab propranolol 10mg twice daily for a month

in case ecg shows arrytmia then you have to undrgo multiple tests !!!
