Feeling sick and palpitations

Does anyone experience an increase in palpitations, PVCs or irregular heart beats when they are feeling sick (I mean with a cold, flu, sinus infection, anything really)?

hi
yeah all the time i had a really bad summer cold a few weeks back and my pvcs were all over the place.i took a decongestant and it gave me palps so i just had to sit it out so to speak which then lead to a migraine.which went on for days
i think it has to do with the blood vessels swelling up as in sinus infection .decongestants can play games with the heart if u are taking one .i think a nasal spray or drops is better if your are all stuffed up

hope u fell better soon summer colds are the worst
