What causes heart palpitations while using a nebulizer for bronchitis?
Patient: I have been diagnosed with Bronchietasis (spelling?) and I am told my bronchial tubes are permanently damage and this cannot be reversed but it is treatable. I ve had 3 episodes of pneumonia. I also have a skip in my heart beat which was become worse in the past week or two. I am using a nebulizer........does the skip in my heart beat have anything to do with the treatment of the nebulizer? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Drugs used in Nebulization can not cause skipping of heart beats. Heart block and arrhythmia can be the cause for this. So better to consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg). If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
