I'm noticing that my heart rate has been climbing up to 95 over the past 23 days. Could my allergic bronchitis be playing a part in this? I'm really concerned and would love some insight on what might be causing this.

Increasing heart rate can be caused by various reasons, especially in individuals with allergic bronchitis. The combination of allergic bronchitis and an elevated heart rate could be due to increased inflammation and stress on the body. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking Montelukast (Singulair) 10mg once daily for allergic bronchitis. Additionally, you can take Propranolol (Inderal) 10-20mg as needed to help lower your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm really worried about my TB treatment. My first doctor prescribed AKT4, but I found out it might be less than what's needed for my weight, which is 67kg. So I talked to another pulmonologist who recommended I switch to DOTS and do the full 6-month course. I've already taken AKT4 for a month before switching. I'm just concerneddid the switch affect my treatment at all? Should I be tested for multi-drug resistant TB?
