Usually my resting heart rate is between 75 and 85(Sometimes even lower than that) but I am sick with a cold and a fever right now and my heart is going at about 100 beats a minute. Is that normal? I am drinking liquids.
Also, is getting sick like this once a year(sometimes I will get a little cold at other times a year but the fever usually just one a year around this time), mean my resistance is pretty good or not? I can't STAND fevers. Even just 99.5 ot 100 makes me feel so weak and achy. I don't like feeling weak.

yes it is normal for your heart rate to increase when you are ill.
