high pulse rate

 Hi, from the US and really glad I found this forum.  My latest test show free t3 at 3.2 

(2.0-4.44)  My BP is usually around 130/78 or lower but my pulse rate is always over 100, even going as high as 110. Am I still hypo or is it hyper. What would make my pulse rate so high?  Had thyroidectomy in 2003. Thank you, yucca

In thyroid terms a fast pulse can mean your T3 is too high, but yours is mid-range.  If T3 does go too high the effects should not last more than a few hours and might be a clue that you need to reduce your dose.   Other temporary causes could be anxiety, stress or high intake of caffeine.  However, if this is a permanent rise, I think I would be inclined to seek medical advice. 

Hypo is underactive and Hyper is overactive.

Thanks  jan4363

I don't have any palps at all but did start Victoza for diabetes and this is when it seemed to spike.  No, I don't have stress and actually feel pretty good.  Thank you
