Brief Answer:
Inflammation does increase pulse rate...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have noted the sequential
vital signs. Yes, you seem to have marginal elevated pulse rate which may or may not be normal.
If I have to answer your question, yes inflammation does elevate pulse rate. But the question is do you have features of active inflammation?
From the details you posted, I don't find any features suggest that you indeed have inflammation. You need to be evaluated for the cause of
shoulder pain - it may be from structural causes, a pinched
nerve or referred from cervical causes. Active inflammation is unlikely.
Therefore if feasible, I suggest that you consult your doctor for clinical examination. If the pulse rate is concerning, he should proceed to investigate you - EKG, hemogram,
ESR and
thyroid functions are the first set of test that I would order.
Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
PS: You haven't mentioned if the sugar readings were from random samples / fasting or post prandial blood samples.
