Hi,
Heart rate of 80-88 is not that much high and does not require any treatment.
If you are much worried, you can go for an ECG to rule about any arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythm.
You can consult a cardiologist in case if symptoms like chest pain or breathlessness occur.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
