10 C Diff Symptoms

Symptom #8: Rapid Heartbeat
Anybody that exercises from time to time will know what it is like to experience an increase in the speed at which their heart beats. The reason for this is that when exercising, the body needs more oxygen. In response, the heart pumps more quickly to help meet the increase in demand.
An increased heartbeat after exercising is perfectly natural and is not usually something to be concerned about. If it is happening at rest, though, and for no good reason then it could be that something is wrong. An increased heart rate is a symptom of a C. diff infection, although it should hopefully not be too serious.
