If you are sick enough that your pulse is elevated then your metabolism is also slightly higher than normal as your body is working to fight the pathogen. It's important when you're ill to listen to your body...if you're hungry you should eat...if you're not then stick with fluids until your appetite returns. Your body will tell you what it needs, when it needs it....and always remember to drink, drink, drink!
