Can being sick make your heart beat faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fever & HR.: A fever can make your heart rate faster. Every degree Fahrenheit of temperature elevation makes the heart beat ten times per minute more than normal. As well, being sick activated the sympathetic nervous system, which stimulates the heart to beat faster. So yes, being sick can make your heart beat faster.
