Bronchitis

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the air passages between the nose and the lungs, including the windpipe or trachea and the larger air tubes of the lung that bring air in from the trachea (bronchi), restricting air flow to and from the lungs. Acute, or short term, bronchitis is usually a viral infection, but can also be a bacterial infection and can heal without complications. Chronic, or long term, bronchitis is a sign of serious lung disease that may be slowed, but cannot be cured.

If you are referring to a common bug that causes colds, gastronteritus, sinus headeches, etc., then the heart rate will rise in order to circulate immune cells and oxygen to the body in order to facilitate healing. Also emotional stress, anxiety, and many other conditions could cause an escalation in heart rate and rhythm. You should have your blood pressure checked ( nost drugstores have a machine for this, and keep a record of it. But if you continue to have these symptoms, your should contact your Doctor to make an appoinment for a consult, diagnosis and treatment. The doc might do an echocardiogram of the heart, an EKG, and/or have blood drawn for the presence of certain cardiac enzymes that shed following an MI (heart attack, MI is short for myocardial infarction). You didn't mention your age, so if you're fairly young--less than 30 years old then your risk of a cardiac mishap is very unlikely. If this continues you must see a Doctor, Nurse Practioner, or a Physician's Assistant. You probably are just getting used to strenuous activity, especially in the summer heat. The heat alone will cause the seart rate to accelerate. But as I said, you absolutely must see a health-care provider if your symptoms worsen or continue.
