What Causes Heart Palpitations While Being Diagnosed With Bronchitis?
Hi, I have brochiectasis and feeling very worried. I have palpitations on any small exertion ,even just standing a while. My lungs feel very heavy at the moment and any small task is like climbing a mountain. Just finished a course of antibiotics and was well but over exerted with grandchildren and got very stressed about feeling so weak. My Specialist has advised a long course of low grade antibiotics and ibrufren . Bit concerned I will have a heart attack or stroke. Carol.
