Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The pulse rate which you had mentioned 132/minute is above normal. Any form of physical exertion, fever, stress, tea, coffee intake, smoking can increase your heart rate. I would suggest you that you visit your doctor & let him evaluate you clinically. Also an electrocardiogram can detect if there is any abnormality in the heart rhythm.
Take care.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your pulse rate is a little above average but not abnormal, unless you have any symptoms. There are a number of reasons to have a pulse rate above which is above average like anemia, anxiety, stress, exercise, excess thyroid production.
I think to get reassurance you should do one complete blood count, ECG & thyroid screening (TSH levels). If all these are normal. You should not worry & take it as normal.
Best regards.
