What Should Be The Normal Resting Heart Rate Of A Person?
I usually have a resting heart rate of about 73 but have a cold starting and my tonsils are very sore and swollen and I often get tonsilitis. Tonight my heart rate is between 95-100. I do also suffer from bad anxiety! Is my heart rate high because I m not well or is it more likely just my anxiety playing up?

Hi,
Your anxiety is playing a big role in your heart rate condition. Hence, calm down and by the way if you have fever, it will also increase your heart rate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
