Brief Answer:
Look normal to me.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
This raise in heart rate on exercise returning back to normal without symptoms looks pretty normal to me.Only minor worry is reaching upto 130 beats.
I would generally recommend a primary cardiac evaluation with EKG and 2Decho in cases like yours.And if at all needed stress test.
So please consider seeing you cardiologist. Regards.
