Brief Answer:
No worries.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. If you have this pulse of 100 plus persistent then you may need a prescription for sinus tachycardia which is low dose beta blockers.

But as you got out of bed recently and there is a big epinephrine surge at waking up and standing form lying down on bed, that gives reflex tachycardia and increase heart rate. So i dont see anything to worry about. Alway rub your eyes with your palms for a few minutes before leaving the bed. This will create oculocardiac reflex and help reduce the heart rate and keep it in limits.

However there is no harm in getting evaluated if the blood pressure readings are high or pulse rate is persistently high. I want you to know that upto 100 is acceptable and is normal. So you are almost normal in pulse rate but still get evaluated if it stays this way.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
