A member asked:
Is a heart rate over 100 bpm normal if you have the flu/fever?

Yes: Generally when you have a fever your heart rate increases, drink plenty of fluids to keep hydrated and get plenty of bed rest, if you are still concern see your doctor.

Yes: In an adult, tachycardia is defined as a heart rate above 100. Fever can certainly increase your heart rate (as can many other things).
