Should a resting heart rate over 100 be a cause for concern?
Patient: Hi.  I have an artificial aortic valve.  I tried painting my car in my garage.  I used a mask but it didn't end up working very well.  I breathed the fumes quite a bit.  My throat was irritated and I had a cough,  Six days later, I feel short of breath.  My regular workout was too hard for me and my resting heart rate is over 100 and it is usually about 80.  Should I be concerned at this point? Doctor: our lungs have a tendency to respond to the allergans from outside atmosphere, in a general   any pollutant from outside which we inhale is going to irritate the lungsmost likely your lungs responded to allergans (paint ) in your casein response to  allergans from outside  lungs produces large amount of mucuous , special cells called histamines are released in blood most likely  it is an issue with the lungs and not your valvestaketab augmentin duo for 3 dayssyrup bron q 2 tsf  twicetab cetrizine 1 hsget a chest x ray doneand tlc/dlc doneif not relieved in 3 days  plan for a 2 d echo cardiographythank you
