I havebeen sick with bronchitis I just usEd my albuterol at 10 and 11 o'clock it's now 2 a.m. I just woke up to my heart beat like 104 I also took mucinex dm which is just a cough suppressant. I have had this over a week and haven't done this yet maybe it's just the albuterol. Ugh!#
It has made my heart rate like 90 during the day but it's in the middle of the night.

So sorry hazelnut. I'm unfortunately awake too and surprised by it! I took some NyQuil to help with congestion and sore throat and thought for sure that meant I would sleep, especially since my body needs the rest, but I'm up.

I've woken to heart rates like that before. I keep a mindfulness video on my phone and do one if I can.

I hope you're feeling better!

ok thank you I hope you get some rest too. I just can't believe I'm still coughing like this after a week now. I'm thinking I'm having an adverse reaction to the albuterol my doctor said that it can make me wheeze more right after I use it because it's opening up my airways but I thought wheezing was caused from constricted airways? The pharmacist say shouldn't do this. I hate when you're told conflicting things so confusing.they also say that the inhaler should only make my heart race for the first hour. I think I just have a sensitive system.have you ever use an inhaler?

Hazel,

From what I've seen of this respiratory crap that is going around is that it is lasting for like two weeks! If your not starting to feel better in the next days I'd ask your doc for a Zpac, just incase there is some infection lurking around.


Hope you feel better soon!!

I already took a z-pack last week I took a klonopin at 3 a.m. Cuz I couldn't sleep and my heart rate is still in the nineties this morning I don't understand why

HN,

I always have an increased HR when ill. I am pretty sure everyone does...the body must work hard to maintain normal functions...and then of course add the burden on healing/extra immune responses, ect...

It is stressful physically and mentally to be sick!

Then medications of course do not help. I react to cough medicines...and DayQuil might as well be meth, as far as my system is concerned!

So, I don't think this is unexpected. Try to use you coping skills and ignore it.

Rest as much as possible. I hope you turn the corner on this today!!!

S.C.

Yeah so true. It jyst hadnt been that high at rest, especially when sleeping since I've been sick. still coughing like a maniac today. quit using the inhaler though I just want this crap to clear out so annoying! I wouldn't wish bronchitis on anyone. 😳
