Why does my heart rate increase with fever?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Since you are feverish, it is expected to have a higher heart rate. Every 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature raises the heart rate by 10 beats per minute more than normal, and blood pressure can also be higher. In this case, your body works at full capacity trying to maintain itself and eliminate the illness at the same time, which may lead to fainting. If you have not experienced high blood pressure before, then the current situation may be the cause. It is important to see your primary doctor for a physical examination.

Regardless, I recommend staying home and getting plenty of bed rest. Avoid engaging in any physical activity for two to three days. Regularly monitor your blood pressure, and if it reaches high values, you can use Amlodipine 5 mg sublingual. Maintain a light diet with ample fluids and vitamins. If your temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, take antipyretics. Please continue taking your current medication.
