@rizzinator I suspect the high pulse rate is the heart responding to the body’s need for more oxygen when you are active. You could ask doc to have his nurse or a tech check your saturations with walking. They’d be able to determine if you need increased oxygen with activity.

Note-it’s important not to increase oxygen without doctor’s ok who is familiar with your health.

@rizzinator , Ever since I was diagnosed with BE, when I had an infection, my symptoms always fast heart beats and short of breath. Once infection was treated, these two symptoms were gone. But the last infection in August my shortness of breath and fast heart beats did not stop, and they also affected my oxygen level. Recently I took 5 days of prednisone. It worked like magic for me. From day one, I started walking 2 miles. My pulmonologist now believes my symptoms were caused by elevated eosinophils.
