Hi,
The raised heart rate may be a normal response to exercises. It's not a lot concerning if he has no symptoms. Another reason for the raised pulse may be the medicine for blood pressure. if he is on amlodipine, it has a common side effect of causing high pulse. So discuss this with his doc, he may change the drug then.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
