Tachycardia: If you are referring to resting heart rate, this is too high and can be caused by a variety of conditions ranging from anxiety to overactive thyroid, anemia (low blood count), heart rhythm disturbances, or endocrine abnormalities to name a few. Prolonged tachycardia (high heart rate) can damage the heart. Have your family doctor check it out!
