I’ve recently had a few times when I’ve been quite sick or taking medication and as a result my usual resting heart rate and moving heart rate has skyrocketed. It has gone from 62 bpm lying down to 110 bpm or while doing exercise it has also been higher at lower intensity (195bpm on a bike vs normal 165bpm). Does this mean you end up burning more calories even if you’re not actually exercising or working hard? (health is fine have been checked just interested in the science).

Yes, but only marginally.
The heart is a muscles and it requires energy to beat. More beats equals more energy.
But even if it was beating twice as fast, that’s still nothing compared compared to the calories burned by an entire body of muscles all moving around at the same time, even if only moderately.
