Asthma medication leading to cardiac complications
Asthma & Allergy | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (6)Comment receiving replies
I have had asthma almost my whole life, for 58 years to be exact. I have taken all the meds and continue with Advair, Albuterol, Singulair, predinsine. My condition was worse and have been taking albuterol daily for over 2 years now. My pulse rate revs up into the 90's only when I take the albuterol. My heart is monitored by my primary care physician and has been checked out twice in the past two years. my heart is healthy but is monitored because heart disease runs on my father's side of the family. I exercise daily, by walking a total of 45 minutes per day.

Hi Bill,
It sounds like you are on all the right meds as per your provider. I have been asthmatic for about the same amount of time. I am using Albuterol neb, Arformoterol (Brovana) (long acting albuterol med) by nebulizer 2 x a day, Prednisone dependent and Dupixent. I was on Xolair for 15 years and then it stopped working. I was on Tespire - which was good for 6 weeks and then I declined to needing hospitalization. I am fortunate that the Dupixent is doing well for me. This may be a suggestion for you to ask your pulm md about this. I also have history of CHF - so I am very careful about everything. Singulair did not work for me - I take an old OTC med - chlorpheniramine (Chlortimeton) - which helps with the allergies. Hope this information is helpful.
