I would go see a cardiologist, that is too high and is considered tachycardia.

As soon as you begin counting, pulse races a bit. Best way is to count for longer time &/ or discard the first few seconds' reading. Keep finger on pulse and don't count for 15 sec., by that time pulse will settle down. I think counting it this way will bring it down to well below 100 bpm. If it doesn't, get a check up to rule out fever, anemia, thyrotoxicosis etc.
Good luck!

Well, worrying is definitely not going to help your heart rate, so try not to.
A heart rate of 100 at rest for any age is too high. You should consult a physician to see if you need to be on medication or if any particular procedure can fix the condition.
