No. Double check your devices accuracy by counting pulse at your wrist for 1 full min. Then discuss with your Dr who knows you.

This is one of the dangers of collecting isolated values with no context. Such a heart rate may be normal or abnormal, talk to your doc at your next regular visit and compare with the your heart rate measured during the visit.
