Why check?: Why are you checking it? Do you feel ill? Those are otherwise ok vital signs. Lots of things will raise your pulse- including anxiety about your pulse. Speak to your doctor if you feel ill.

Resting? Or walking: A true resting heart rate is measures after 15 minutes of laying down or sitting in a chair without anxious thoughts in your head. Walking up to the pharmacy's machine and pressing a button doesn't count. That being said, if your resting heart rate is truly elevated, try to find the cause. If there is no prior heart history, Rx may not be needed. Propranolol for anxiety & tachycardia often used.
