I was just wondering if being sick can cause an increase in heart rate? I have what seems like an upper resperitory cold or something and it seems as though my heart rate is higher than usual.

Hi, there. If you have a raging sinus infection, it can indeed raise your heart rate. A fever is often accompanied by a slightly higher pulse rate, too. Another possibility is that you are mildly dehydrated, which can definitely cause an elevated heart rate and cause you to feel horrible.
I agree with the previous answer, too. What are you taking for your upper-respiratory "thing"? If it's an OTC med, it might be a good idea to pop into Wal-Mart or somewhere else with a free blood pressure monitor and check your bp. You should also go see your doctor, if you haven't already.
I'm so sorry you're feeling crummy. I hope you find a remedy that works and that you feel better soon!!!

Cold and sinus cannot, but the OTC medications that you take for your symptoms most definitely do increase your heart rate.

In technical words the beta block stops the sympathetic stimulation (adrenalin rush) from reaching your heart. because of this beta blockers could be reducing exercising-brought about tachycardia (speedy heart cost). In laypersons words this is unusual. Your husbands heart cost shouldn't upward push as a results of beta blockers. in all threat nicely worth a visit on your medical doctors.
