: I think a heart rate of 130 is not a simple cardiac response to a minor upper respiratory tract infection without fever unless you took heavy doses of a decongestant or instilled too much decongestant nasal spray. Should you have recurrent bouts of such rapid heart rates you will need a cardiac ( EKG, heart monitir) &amp; thyroid workup.
