A member asked:
I have a head cold/flu and my heart rate has been over 100 even when im just sitting down. is that because im sick? or could it be something else. im concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This accelerated resting heart rate, most likely simple sinus tachycardia, could be a reaction to temperature elevation or increased metabolism as your body fights the infection. In the absence of chest discomfort or shortness of breath, I doubt it's a serious issue. Rest up. Drink plenty of fluids(no caffeine)Take Tylenol as needed for fever.
