Hi, the heart rate usually increases after exercise, more over it is at level 12 so it might be the genuine, But after little walking it is 173 means you might be having some problem with the heart.
So i advise you to consult a cardiologist for diagnosis and treatment, Even the hypertension may also cause the same. Thank you.
