can anyone give me an informed answer on how being ill or sick affects heart rate? i recently have had a bout of salmonella poisoning and have been off the bike for about 2 days. last night did a small workout and for kicks, tried to get my heart rate up towards zone 5, and had a bit of difficulty. i know food poisoning is somewhat different than being sick in a normal sense, but it can cause similar fatigue. not overly concerned about it, but as i am racing this weekend, just curious if anyone can give me some info. thanks.
