Hi. I Was Wearing My HR Monitor Whilst Playing Indoor

Hi. I was wearing my HR monitor whilst playing indoor football. Very fast paced game. My maximum heart rate was 215bpm on a few occasions. The HR monitor has always have reliable results even when I have compared it to me counting my heart rate. I'm 24 years old, 11 stone 3 pounds and an athletic build. I'm in good physical shape but this heart rate seems a tad high. Just wondering whether you think I should get my blood pressure checked or anything just to check it's ok. Cheers
