physical exertion and during digestion.

The pulse rate is also influenced by the breathing rate.
Variation of one degree of temperature above 98?F. is
approximately equivalent to a rise of 10 beats in pulse
rate :
Temp.98 F. corresponds with pulse of 60 per minute.
Temp.99 F. corresponds with pulse of 70 per minute.
Temp.100 F. corresponds with pulse of 80 per minute.
Temp.101 F. corresponds with pulse of 90 per minute.
