Technically speaking, a pulse rate 100 and above is "high." This is referred to as tachycardia. However, pulse rates are unique to individuals. If a person's resting heart rate is normally 60, and he or she all of the sudden has a resting heart rate of 90, this would probably be considered high, even though it does not technically fit the definition of tachycardia.
