May be: It's unlikely but possible. Bronchitis itself should not do it. Bit if you have fever, dehydration or using certain inhalers as allbuterol may cause to increase your heart rate. It's important to find out asap what is causing your heart rate go up to 120, and return it to normal. It's dangerous to keep your heart rate at that high pace.

A bit. Fast: A heart rate that high suggests a serious infection. Any chills or accompanying shaking means spread of bacteria into the blood. Past history of chest pain makes me very concerned and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
