I have a mild case of achilles tendonitis (self diagnosed) that I developed few days ago from running. After looking into this, I learned that achilles tendonitis can take a long time to heal because there is very little blood supply. I’ve heard of people using electrostimulation to increase blood flow to help speed up the recovery process. Will increasing blood circulation by increasing my heart rate without using my Achilles do anything to speed up recovery?

No
don’t self-diagnose and get proper medical help from a good physio.
