Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to an infection (the fever and hot flashes). Regarding the changes in your heart rate, they are indicative of postural tachycardia syndrome. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- Complete blood count for anemia
- PCR, ESR for inflammation
- A urine analysis
- Thyroid hormone levels.

A head Up Tilt test would help exclude Postural tachycardia syndrome.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
