Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. The normal range for pulse is 60-100 beats per minute, which places your pulse within the normal range, although towards the upper limit, it is still within the normal range, and thus is nothing to worry about and does not warrant any treatment.

I hope I have explained things in a manner best understood by you. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
