Hi,
Illness can be associated with an increase in heartbeat. The loss of fluids from diarrhea and vomiting would also contribute to the increase that you noted.
For diarrhea and vomiting you would need to :
(1) make sure to give yourself back your fluids and electrolytes
(2) avoid solid food till a 4-hour window with no symptoms then restart with small amounts of dry foods e.g. toast, plain rice, biscuits
(3) probiotics may help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
