Hello Sir
After going through the medical details provided by you I understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that any form of stress to body increases heart rate. Common Cold and low hydration itself is a stresser which can contribute to increase in heart rate.
When suffering from cold it's always good to keep yourself well hydrated and it also help you make a quick recovery.
Hope to have been helpful.
