If you are having fever or any infection, ur heart rate will be high. Don't worry. If persistently high for long time and associated giddiness, take an ECG.

What's your normal heart rate? Increase in heart rate is generally seen under any stress like anemia, fever, pain. Need a detailed history for proper evaluation.
