A member asked:
I broke my big toe in a motorcycle crash(fixed with surgery) been on bed rest for a week now. higher resting heart rate since surgery. what might be causing this?

Heart rate: Resting heart rate can be elevated due to fever or pain. If you have had an injury such as fracture and you have been at bed rest the possibility or a blood clot increases. That would be a more concerning cause for tachcardia. If shortness of breath or chest pain you should probably get checked.
