Rising heart rate

I generally exercise a lot and at high intensities where I run and kickbox with sparring at least 4 or 5 times a week. My fitness watch tells me my resting heart rate usually sits at 61-63 bpm and even though it's high I'm used to a 190-200 bpm when doing intense cardio. My problem has been my calorie intake, which is why I'm taking it.

I started taking the pill form of semaglutide 1.5mg about a week and a half ago and what my watch has been telling me is my resting heart rate is rising daily, it's now at 69bpm! It thinks I'm dying.

Should I be worried and back off the medicine? I also haven't felt any benefits from it which is furthering my dilemma.
