Can sitting in the heat for an extended period of time raise your heart rate?

Yes.: Dehydration can cause tachycardia (Fast heart rate). But this could be a sign of an irregular heart rate as well. Key is to make sure the rhythm is at regular intervals. if its not, then you have to worry about atrial fibrillation. http://amansawmd.com/2014/02/17/atrial-fibrillation-overview/
