I Am Taking Tromadol For A Bilateral Tear In My Left Shoulder Which Is Causing Fever And A Rapid Heart Rate. How Can This Be Resolved?
Question: I have what the doctor suspects is a bilateral tear in my left shoulder. I was given a shot of what I think was tromadol in my right glute. Last night I had fever and rapid heart rate of 104-107.. woke up with the rapid heart rate. Last two times I've taken it it was 95bpm -99 bpm. I am taking vicopfrofen for the pain in my shoulder. I also have some chest congestion - yellowish greenish phlem.
Hi,
Thanks for your query,
I do not consider the rapid heart rate being related to the shoulder injury or the injection tramadol.
If you have fever along with the increased heart rate then I think the possible cause for the same is the chest infection you have.
I suggest you to take anti cough measures like steam inhalation and an expectorant which will relieve you momentarily from chest congestion .
Get a chest Xray and if possible a culture and sensitivity test on the sputum and get you on appropriate antibiotics for the same.
Hiatal hernia could be a considerable cause here but i would ask you to first rule out the infection in the chest after which you can be sure of what exactly is causing the heart rate to rise.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries I will be available to answer them.
