A member asked:

I have sinusitis, and my pulse is rapid-about 100-110 bpm resting-and sometimes my pulse in my wrist will stop and start again.is sinusitis the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arrhytmias: Infections can increase heart rate but unlikely to cause skipped beats. Skipped beats require immediate if present.
