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 was diagnosed with TB back in July 2017, and I've just finished a nine-month course of anti-TB medication. My recent report mentions something about old healed Koch's infiltration and mild bronchitis. I'm still feeling some pain in my upper right chest. Could this be due to scarring, or is there something else I should be worried about? Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been checking my symptoms online, and it pointed to cough variant asthma. All the symptoms seem to match, and I already know I have asthma since I use an inhaler. It's the Ventolin Albuterol one, but I feel like I'm using it too much because I constantly need to breathe better. Do you think this issue will eventually go away, or should I think about going to the hospital?
