Thank you. For eg now my heart rate is 54. If i had a fever this would be higher yes? Does fever come and go? Or is it consistent?

hello again.
Fever typically comes and goes especially if you use medication such as Tylenol. i would expect a higher heart rate yes if you had a fever.
I hope you feel better soon.
