Faster heart beat with walking pneumonia

My daughter had walking pneumonia from something called Mycoplasma she was sick for three weeks, she got pretty bad and had to have a chest X-ray at hospital. At first they thought it was just tonsillitis so I wasn’t really being as careful when she was coughing as I didn’t think she was contagious. Luckily she’s much better now.

I’ve caught it too but I’ve been lucky as I haven’t had as a bad a fever as she did, a very mild fever barely over normal. The thing I have noticed is my heart rate! Resting I’m usually 60 - 65bpm sometimes 70/75 if I’m more anxious but since I’ve been poorly it’s between 85 - 100 resting and when I was getting up and walking around it was like 110 - 130. I am doing my best not to panic and I’ve done pretty well. The fever and sore muscles have passed but I’ve still got a chest infection, and my heart is still at 100 sometimes even sitting down. My question is, does this happen to everyone? I’m used to it if I have a fever, when I had covid I had a horrible fever and a fast heart rate. But without a fever it feels weird that my hearts beating so fast. I’m hoping this can teach me that a faster heart rate isn’t dangerous as I’ve had a long term fear with my heart and I did let it get a bit out of control.

It happened to me and I was diagnosed a few weeks ago.
Infection can make your pulse faster.
I’m no doctor, so speak to yours to get some advice & keep resting up to get better.

Oh did you get walking pneumonia too? It seems to be going around at the moment.

I’ll ring my doctor on Monday about it. I just didn’t want to seem like I was being silly by ringing them up about it.

Hope you’re feeling better!

Mine wasn’t walking, I was hospitalised twice for it because I couldn’t get my temperature under control & then it made my asthma worse.

Hope you get on ok tomorrow with your dr.
