Hey guys hope all is well
I haven't been on for a while i was doing okay still taking the 75 mgs Zoloft and doing much more outings .
Both of my kids have a severe bout of stomach flu one of them had to go to the ER because of it . And this morning I woke up shaking nauseous jittery weak and pulse pounding .
I think I got it too now but I'm wondering have you guys had your pulse go up with a stomach bug ? I don't have a fever but just feel like someone ran me over with a truck :/
Of course now I'm worried about the pulse being 100-110 😞
Plz help !!!

RN, My resting HR is 100-110, you are fine. I did a fast google and it says it is normal for your heart rate to go up, but of course you probably have some anxiety too over being sick and that would raise it too. But 100-110 is totally safe.

RN, anytime your body is fighting an illness, your heart rate increases. Totally normal!

Hope you're all feeling better really soon. Stomach flu is the worst!!!

Thanks you guys . This is the worst I felt in a long time , I'm shaking and can't walk it horrific .
But yea I think for a few days I'll try my best not to worry about my pulse :/ not sure how that will go..

How are you park you still on Zoloft ?

Rn,

Just adding one more reassurance...

...my heart races and pounds when I have the flu. Being sick is taxing on the system...but nothing it can't handle...

...so don't worry, and just rest and recover!!

Thoughts and prayers for feeling better soon!

I am so sorry!!!

The stomach flu is the absolute WORST!!! I would rather have 10 consecutive colds I do believe!!! ;/

Hope the worst is over, and you are feeling better in the morning!

Hi

Hope you are feeling a bit better today?

Flu can cause your pulse to increase but as the others have mentioned it's nothing to worry about.

I wish you a speedy recovery.
