What Could Rapid Heart Rate, Headache With Cough And Phlegm Suggest?

I ve been sick with a terrible head cold, stuffy/runny nose, a phlegmy cough, head ache and body aches for about 5 days. I went to my doctor and was put on an antibiotic. She said my heart rate was quite fast. She checked it twice but didn t seem extremely worried. Now I m wondering if my sickness can have anything to do with it
