Suggest Treatment For Having Rapid Heart Beat
I had 4 puffs of ventolin within the space of 3 hours (slightly more) and it has been 3 hours since my last puff but my heart has been beating very fast since. Its doesn t feel like a heart rate, its not irregular, just very regularly rapid with constantly pounding at a regular rate but very forceful I can feel it in my chest just going crazy. I ve tried staying still, distracting myself, drinking water, but my heart is still very very rapid, heart rate of above 130bpm and if I move its even faster.

Hello,
Rapid heart rate while suffering from pulmonary artery disease sometimes can be indicating towards underlying heart disease.
It’s recommended for you to get a basic cardiac evaluation done which includes an ECG & Echocardiography and consult a cardiologist for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
