Fast heart rate: Be checked with an EKG and maybe a Holter study to determine why you have a fast heart rate. Avoid all caffeinated products and over the counter medications for cold. All the best.

Rate got up to 156.: For sure is not normal, I do see your age, do you smoke, have any other conditions. DO you had similar events in the past? See a cardiologist, have a holter, you mat have a supra-ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, you need a diagnosis and a treatment. Make an appointment today.

Let doctor know: If you accurately measured your pulse at 156 without exercising, this is far too fast, and may suggest paroxysmal atrial tachycardia. Contact your physician, and find out what is going on.
