Hi,
In old age (Geriatric ) pulse rate greatly varies even blood pressure too and it is not the sign of any illness.
Still, the condition needs to be tested for it and ECHO and EKG are the test that can rule out the cardiac illness else it is nothing to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
