[|Human|] Our son is a male age 27 currently running a temp of 103.5 and has a pulse rate of 132. He says his pulse has been constant at that number for a couple hours. He has had cold symptoms for a few days. also thinks he may have had a tick bite 14 days ago.
[|AI|]  Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. It is good news that this is a regular heartbeat and a sinus tachycardia. High body temperatures, and fever in general, is a state where the organism goes through a lot of changes. Temperature acts on its center in hypothalamus (a specific region in the brain) and provokes a series of changes, one of which is sinus tachycardia. When the fever is cured and body state comes to normal, so does the high heart rate. However, if your suspicion is that he was bitten by a tick, I recommend you to consult an infectious diseases specialist, to carefully determine what microorganism is causative of this situation. I hope I was helpful. Take care. Good day,
