Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I am 19 years old I do no exercise. I work at a fast food restaurant 5 days a week. I am female. I weigh 108 pounds. I think Im getting a cold so I took the equate brand daytime cold and flu medicine. I am not allowed to take pseudoephedrine or Sudafed. I checked my pulse because the Sudafed races my heart. My pulse per minute is 98 and Im laying down. Is that bad or good?
[|AI|]  If you feel you have caught a cold, your body might react in terms of you getting a fever. A high heart rate between 80 -120 beating regularly is quite normal when a person has fever. These are the bodies compensatory mechanisms to fight the infection, e.g. Flu (viral). A heart rate between 60-100 is usually normal and not of concern. If you have taken Sedated, which is not clear in your question whether you have taken it or not, it will also cause a slight rise in heart rate which will settle on its own once the effect of the medicine subsides. In your case a heart of 98 should not be an issue. Although, knowing your normal heart rate would help understand better in comparison to your present one.
