Can Advair Cause Tachycardia?

default
Posted on Thu, 4 May 2017
Question: Should I be concerned? Before going to bed I used my Advair to make going upstairs easier. Before laying down, I used Flonase and put on CPAP. But after, 30 min. in bed my pulse started racing. Right now, BP is 126/61 and pulse is 104. I think it might be the Advair since I had not been using it for several weeks? dr.s appt is Wed

My BP is 123/56 and pulse is 80, now. Just sitting in chair and doing deep breathing. Will it be closer to 7 a.m. before I get an answer or should I stay up. I have a long day tomorrow with several projects that I have to finish as soon as I get up at 6 a.m.


Thank you. Earlier today, I purchased a new part for CPAP and did not notice that it was the wrong size until after I had taken the Advair this evening. I was very tired coming upstairs to go to bed and then, miffed that I had to find the old mask and re-assemble it to the CPAP hose. My doctor changed the mask last month and changed my pressure to see if I could rest better. I will go back to Medical Supply and get the right mask on Tuesday p.m. and see doctor on Wednesday for follow up. Again, thank you....my system has calmed down and I will go back upstairs and get some needed sleep.
