Resting Heart Rate when ill

[bfill1985]

Anyone else ever notice their resting heart rate rise noticably when they're poorly?

Also noticed the same after a heavy night on the booze... it seemed to take around 3 days to gradually drop to normal levels... made me think twice about ever going on a long drinking session again!

I assume there is medical reasoning behind why this has happened, and the increases weren't just coincidences?

@bfill1985 Others are posting a rise in RHR about 3 days before they felt ill. I had a total hip replacement 4 months ago and never had aneasthetic before or never broken anything and this is the RHR graph.. The doctors didn't worry, just said it was total reaction to everything.. It took 5 weeks to normalise. The RHR is typically 58 bpm now..

We are one month it to Spring with spikes of 34oC ( 93oF) and that makes my RHR go upwards of 5 bpm.. The same in winter when I wear a woollen pullover.  While sleeping my pulse can get down to 42.

I have found the Charge HR very accurate with sleeping and low level activity.. But not with spurts of movement but at my age it doesn't worry me.
