Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

A resting heart rate above 100 (tachycardia) is abnormal.
It needs investigation.
Anaemia / Anxiety / Alcohol / Tobacco (smoking) / Caffeine (too much coffee, cola) / Thyroid / Medicines like Phenylephrine, used for ‘cold’ / Salbutamol, used for asthma / Illicit ‘drugs’ like Amphetamine are notorious to cause the beats....     At times, abnormal nerve paths in the heart (bypass tracts) are responsible!

EKG / HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) / ECHOcardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.

You must see a doctor. The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
