A member asked:
My heart rate was over 110 during fever i was really scared, but now that the fever has gone the heart rate is 66-85 depending on activity or stress.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal response: It is normal to have an elevated heart rate with a significant fever, since fever increased the metabolic rate of the body and the heart responds accordingly to meet these increased metabolic needs.
