Hello,
Your usual pulse is higher than the normal range. It should not exceed 100/min when you are not exercising.
Your pulse now being 130 warrants a check with your doctor. It is important to at least have an ECG to see the cause of this high pulse rate.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
I wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj,
