Hi, I am in cold and cough from last month. My cough has finished but my nose is stuffy and one side of nose is totally blocked so i clean every hour. Now my question is that is this stuffy nose because of allergy and sinus cause increae in heart rate. My resting heart from last 5 days are 85-93. Mike
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Any illness can cause an increase in the heart rate particularly if there is any increase in temperature. Medications used to treat nasal congestion can also cause an increase in the pulse. Your pulse rate (85-93), though it may be increased above your normal baseline, is still within normal range (60 to 100). I hope this helps
