It's not "insanely" high. And blanket statements like this can cause undue alarm.

If you're worried about an elevated resting heart rate, go get an ECG done. Don't let random people on the internet talk you into health anxiety.

As even the tiniest bit of research will show, that is insanely high. Well over 99th percentile for that age group, according to US CDC. While it might be counterproductive to get anxious about minor symptoms, when one of the most critical indicators of overall health is off the charts I think "you should be worried" (with "go see a doctor" as the express or implied followup) is the humane response. "Meh" or denying the statistical reality is IMO irresponsible.

The average person's resting heart rate is 70 bpm. The "maximum" heart rate is roughly 207 - 2/3 of your age.

So for someone who is say 30, your maximum rate is ~187. But a rate over 90 when resting is considered outside normal levels.

If you have no history of cardiac disease and aren't taking any medications that would cause an increased rate, if your resting rate is 113-120, you need to be checked.
