How High?: The normal heart rate at rest is 60-100 bpm. It goes faster with exertion, anxiety, stress, and medications or foods, like caffeine. Speak with your doctor about the frequency of your atenolol. It may begin wearing off after 12-15 hours of taking it. If so, it can increase your heart rate at night. See a heart doctor (cardiologist) for evaluation.

Count your pulse: I see you take atenolol - I assume you have episodic fast heart rate ?If your heart rate is fast now (>120) and sustained, go to the emergency room.

Many possibilities: The question is very nonspecific. If your heart rate is above 100, you have tachycardia. The medication you are taking should be helpful to control the rate, but the dosing may need to be adjusted. Causes may include thyroid disorders, response to drugs, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol etc; or lack of conditioning. You need to see your MD if the pulse is racing when not exercising.
