Normally, the disease asthma, does not affect the heart muscle or heart valves. The heart can be affected during an acute asthma attack, if it is not getting enough oxygen.
Some inhaled asthma medication (bronchodilators) can cause a rapid or irregular heart rate and/or blood pressure elevation.
The goal should be to:
1) Make sure her asthma is under optimum control,
2) Have her doctor check her blood pressure and treat it
3) Talk to her doctor about the erratic EKG. What does it mean? What is causing it and how can it be returned to a regular rhythm. An erratic heart rhythm can also be caused by uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Hi,
So, it is possible that inhaled asthma medication can cause rapid heart rate ?
she is currently using Nebulizer for asthma.
