I'm a 30yo male im 250lbs but mostly muscle althought i could do with losing a few pounds although i am pretty fit.I lift weights 4 times a week and train cardio a few times also.2 years ago i started taking panic attacks and have a bit of anxiety about my health where i worry i'm going to have a heart attack.
But i've been to doctor and everything was fine except liver function was just slightly high,but this was due to the fact i'd been drinking every night to try to get over my anxiety.I dont drink as much now,but over the last week i've been drinking every night just because of Xmas and things.
Anyway yesterday i had a tickly throat and a bit of a cough,and i felt as if my heart was going a bit quicker than normal.This morning after a heavy nights boozing i woke up feeling poor.The cough has moved down into my chest and my whole body aches and i've got a bit of a fever hands are sweaty etc.My normal resting heart rate is usually between 56-64bpm and my bp is usually about 140-78. but today my heartrate is 85 and wont go below that,it felt even faster after i ate my dinner.My bp is normal though 138-74.
I just wanted to know if this is normal in conection with a flu/chest infection,is my heart rate faster because my body is fighting infection.
Or is it something else like a liver problem or heart problem.My anxiety has never raised my bp or bpm before and i dont think its that this time.
Or is it just because i've been drinking all week and training and not getting proper rest or nutrition and my imune system is a bit down.
Please reply as i'm worried.
