What Leads To Rise In Heart Rate While Walking And With History Of Having Heart Attack?

I had a heart attack in January and have since had 3 stents put in at different times. I am a 60 yr old white female. After I just started my walk last night, first 500 steps up a step road, my heart rate was at 117 bpm but as I was walking I could see the dots in front of me kinda like when you feel faint. I rested for a few minutes and it went away. Is this something to be concerned about
