Assalam o Alaikum! Sir last year i was diagnose with sinus techecardia after echo & holter monitoring.
Heart rate was ranging between 80 to 156 in holter monitoring. My dr prescribed me inderal 10 mg 2 times a day. I used it about 2 & half month then gradually leave it. I usually have 80/84 PR.
But again after year i am having again issue of high pulse rate that went 100/120 on rest time with out any activity. I am again taking this medicine i usually have bp between 90/60 or 70/110 these days. With other health conditions.
I am suffering from ibs M flare. Asthma issue with sinus techecardia at the same time.
Currently i am on.
Librax , colonil, inderal ,alkar & frisium tblet.
My concern is it okay to have inderal with low bp but with high pulse rate & specially with asthma medicine like freehale tablet & inhaler.
I am asking you with hope. I hope you will reply.
