Suggest Remedy For Increased Heart Beat While Treating For Sinusitis

Went to the doctor today and had a heartbeat between 145-160. They seemed to be really concerned and are having me come back on Friday. I have been diagnosed with bronchitis which it is going on three weeks. He put me on more antibotics and cough medicines. Should I be worried about my heart? I heard that when you sick your heart rate is sometimes higher.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM ..

Yes you are right in infection heart rate increases .....

You are suffering from bronchitis like infective condition....

Your treatment is correct with antibotic and cough expectorant ...

If dyspnea present than bronchodilator drug or nebulization also added ....

Steam inhalation useful ....

Avoid smoking .....

Here one possibility to be included is secondary pericardium inflammation like condition secondary to bronchitis.(chance less) ....
So for that ECG can be done if shows any change ...

Do your CRP and CBC also .....

Take care ....clinical follow up needed ....
