See below: Fever causes an increase in the heart rate, breathing rate and blood circulation to the skin. This is how the body tries to reduce the heat caused by fever. As the temperature decreases-we expect the heart rate to decrease.

Normal ?: Normal biorhythms see the body temperature fluctuate with activity and time of day, usually dropping in the average person to its lowest around 4-6 am and highest at 4-6 pm. Heart rate also fluctuates and settled down in the resting state while elevating during activity. The numbers you mention are not particularly concerning but should be correlated with other symptoms.
