I Am A 73 Year Old Female. My Pulse Rate
I am a 73 year old female. My pulse rate usually is around 75-80. The last week it has been in the 90 range. I had extensive dental work the last two weeks and a sinus infection. I took Benedryl at night for the sinus congestion. Could that be the cause for the rise in the pulse.

Thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually which you are expecting the rise in pulse rate it is actually between the normal value only.
Yes there can be rise in pulse rate because of infection. But yours comes under normal value only.
So please do not take tension.
Take care
