Check your data. What I mean is, take your pulse a few times to verify the rate. Taking it when you first wake up will give you the lowest rate.
Going from 55 to 75 can happen just from wolfing down a big meal or drinking a cup of coffee. I've seen that kind of swing too, in between blood donations. Just last week it was up in the high 70s, at least 15 bpm higher than 2 months ago. Why? I could tell as I was sitting there that it was higher than normal, and I could tell that w/in 15 minutes it had gone back down again. I'm pretty sure it was due to me inhaling a bowl of oatmeal and rushing out the door. It certainly isn't in the high 70's right now....
If that's not it, l'd suspect medication or stress.

Allergies can cause a high pulse rate. You may have added something different to your diet, even a supplement you could be having an allergic reaction to.

Stress? Cold/Flu? You're eating KFC now? Could be many things. Go see a doctor if you're worried it's something serious.
