Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Deriphyllin is a broncho-dilator, used in asthma.
It may help, if there is broncho-spasm; otherwise it may not help.
It may increase the heart rate n some people.
Self medication should be avoided - especially in heart patients.
Wait till you see a doctor.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
