Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I have gone through you question carefully. Its normal to have higher

heart rates after any form of physical exertion including sex. Due too

stimulation of autonomic nervous system one feels thirsty and tongue gets

dry and some people feel dizzy. If you have chest pain or feel bereathless

after sex then its a cause of concern

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing all the best,
