Hello,
Heart rate will increase after physical exertion and in case of stress and anxiety.
It is a normal physiological response and does not indicates any disease condition.
However, if you are worried, you can consult a cardiologist and plan for an ECG to rule out cardiac arrhythmia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
