If this is different from what you have experienced in the past you need to see a physician. There are a lot of possibilities of what might be causing this and it could be normal. But get it checked out.
Having a pulse of 110 while exercising is not abnormal. And a resting rate of between 75 and 93 is also not abnormal. You don't have any underlying conditions, so there is nothing to worry about. The more you continue to exercise, the better your heart rate will be.Once you condition yourself. Just make sure you are well hydrated before you start exercising. Being dry will increase your heart rate. Take your pulse from your carotid artery instead of from your wrist. The pulse at the wrist does not always receive all the beats, especially when they are fast. Feel under your jaw for the pulse, don't press too tightly. That will correlate with your heart rate. If you're still missing beats, of feel uncomfortable, get an EKG from your doctor. Most important, stay hydrated with water.
Normal heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute. Heart rate increase with exercise. The more strenuous, the harder the heart works thus increasing the rate.
