asthma and pvcīs?
by pocho, Oct 29, 2001 12:00AM
I have mild asthma and i have premature ventricular contractions (7 per hour).
When i have bronchospasm , i am afraid to use medicactions like salbutamol, because i am afraid my pvcīs will increase.
If i donīt take medication then, mi pvcīs arise to 50 per hour (because of enchanced automacity)
Whatīs the usual treatment or usual options for a person who suffer from asthma and pvcīs? (nothing???)
I canīt take beta blockers for pvcīs due to mi asthma
I canīt take beta 2 agonists (salbutamol)for asthma due to my pvcīs
Any suggestion?

Beta 2 agonists, like salbutamol or albuterol, will not necessarily increase premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). Check with your heart specialist (cardiologist) to have the frequency of your PVCs observed after inhaling a beta 2 agonist.
