Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your increasing heart rate is just a normal and compensatory body reaction to high body temperature (fever).
Heart rate increases as a reaction to inflammatory and pyrogenic mediators leading to increased cardiac output.
So, it doesn't seem to be an adverse reaction of antibiotics treatment.
No medically based evidence of heart attack seems to be present in your case. So relax and don't worry about!
Hope to have been helpful to you!
In case of any further questions, feel free to ask me again .
