General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the increased heart rate with a history of hyperthyroidism (am I right?).

As regular exercise can also be responsible for the heart rate of 94 beats per minute. However if you have symptoms of palpitation, sweating, weight loss despite of having a good appetite, heat intolerance the possibility of HYPERTHYROIDISM should be ruled out.

I advise you to consult a physician for proper workup like lab tests such as CBC, ESR and Thyroid function tests, etc.

Hope this answers your query.
