It is OK.: It's normal. However, if the rapid heart rate persisted and your blood pressure drops if you feel dizzy or fainting, goto your doctor right away.

Heart rate monitor: Get a heart rate monitor that will help you to keep your heart rate in check. Don't exceed 80% of your maximum h.R . To estimate your mhr use this equation. 220 -age= maximum heart rate.
