A member asked:

At dr's today, my heart rate was 130 bpm. is it because i have walking pneumonia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: Heart rate goes up with stress and infection. Yours is a bit high and may mean some dehydration. Really push frequent small water drinks. If you get chest pain or worsening breathing let your family know ASAP!
