    Are you getting any chest pains or shortness of breath?

      I think chest infections can raise your pulse as your body is working hard to fight the infection. If you get any chest pains or breathing problems or something feels wrong, get in touch with your doctor though. It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your lungs and heart.
