Hi all 😷🤢
Currently dying of some kind of flu/cold virus. Suffering from a temperature and feeling very tired. Sure you all know what I mean- runny nose, chest cough, no appetite and feeling weak ect.
Basically just wondered- my heart rate has jumped up lots. Sat/laying down its between 95-102. When well its usually 80s.
Stood up walking - even just to and from the bathroom ect goes upto 120-135. When well its usually 95-105
Is this normal when we're sick? Just don't know if I should be concerned. Not breathless, no chest pains. Just feel majorly hot from the temperature (I'm measuring in at 38.5)
Thanks 😷😷😷😁😁😁🤢

Yes this makes sense bc right now I have a viral infection and yesterday night I fell asleep early as I felt so bad I was having loss of appetite, sweating, body aches, shivers etc and when I woke up about an hour after I fell asleep my heart rate was 132 which felt really bad because I could hear my heartbeat and I was sweating buckets so I'm sure that's what woke me up and I went to the doctors and their heartbeat monitors were about 2 beats lower than mine so i think it can be really important to wear a fitbit or some kind of heart rate monitor, especially when your ill

You just described my day today. 😷🤒 I registered 70 minutes of activity and my heart rate has been in the low 100's all day while I was running a fever. I actually had 0 minutes of activity today. My normal HR average in the 60-70 bpm range. I have the Fitbit Versa 2.
I don't like my stats being artificially inflated when I didn't really do anything except sleep most of the day.

Yes, I've been seriously ill 3 times in the past year, and a day or two before each time, my resting HR has rapidly spiked to around 80 instead of around 57. My time in the "fat burn zone" also spikes from 2-3 hours a day to about 16 hours. Common cold spikes it a little bit, but not nearly that high.
I have asthma and I'm immunosuppressed, so it's hard to tell an asthma flare from a cold from things like early stages of pneumonia, but once I noticed this HR pattern, it became so much easier to catch stuff early.
Last time I saw my HR start to spike, I got to the doctor right away and said I thought my complaints might just be asthma, but I wasn't sure. She listened to my lungs and they were awful - she immediately got me a bunch of diagnostic tests and an X-ray, and I was able to start meds that day instead of waiting until my symptoms became dangerous to be sure, like I would have done before.
At this point, I'm never going without an HR monitor. It's become super important for monitoring my health.

Fitbit showed my heart rate hovering around 100 when it's normally in the
60s or low 70s.

This just happened to me… I have asthma and I had some kind of virus but my resting heart rate went up consistently over a week so I went to the doctor and they said I had the beginning of bronchitis or pneumonia and got on antibiotics

Happened to me yesterday. Started with chills and no fever then all heck broke loose. Fever, throat, body ache, head pressure and scariest of it all was a resting heart rate of 120s-130s. Went to ER Care and they did Covid (negative) and flu test (negative). Doc said its 1 of 240 viruses and the HR is a sign the body is fighting it. She said controlling the fever and symptoms will lower the HR. 500mg Tylenol every 4 hrs. It started dropping 12hrs later.
Now the next morning I have a fever still but heart rate is 90s/100s. Scary but the body is amazing.
The head pressure is the worst part of this
