What Is The Remedy For A Sinus Infection With The Pulse Being 108 While On Amitriptyline
I'm 19 and very sick with a sinus infection. I just checked my pulse and it's 108 resting. My doctor also said my blood pressure was up and I got really worried. I believe it was 148/100 but it's usually 125/80. He thought it was because I'm so sick. I just need a second opinion. I've noticed my heart rate had increases since I started taking amitriptyline for pain I'm up to 50mg and I was wondering of that could cause it too.

Hello
You need to continue antibiotic and decongestant.
Take steam inhalation and warm water gargle with betadine/tantrum solution.
For early recovery drink plenty of water, eat easily digestible food, improve immunity, and take fruit juices and soups.
If required then you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.
If medical treatment does not relieve sinus infection then endoscopic procedure may be required.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
