Patient's question:
Bronchitis caused by a cold, took medicine but it hasn't taken effect yet, and now my heart is still racing. What should I do about the bronchitis and rapid heartbeat?Doctor's answer:
Bronchial inflammation rarely causes a faster heartbeat unless it leads to heart function problems, such as long-term bronchial inflammation, bronchial stenosis leading to choking, which then causes the heartbeat to reflexively speed up. This situation can occur, and it will be completely restored after controlling the bronchial inflammation. Further careful examinations, such as chest X-rays and blood tests, or bronchial provocation tests, are needed for the faster heartbeat condition. It will be completely restored after controlling the bronchitis.
