Could Increased Heart Rate And Chest Tightness Be Due To Sore Throat?

Hello, I recently developed a really painful sore throat after having the cold..
I went to my local health clinic, an i noticed my heart rate was 116.. Right now my chest feels alittle tight.
Is something really wrong or is it just the sore throat causing all of this?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Fast heart rate and tightness in chest is not due to sore throat. You should check your blood pressure and go for electrocardiogram once. For sore throat antibiotics like azithromycin, amoxiclav or levofloxacin are useful. You should also take antihistaminics for symptomatic releif. CConsult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
