How Can rapid Heart Rate Along With Cough Be Treated?
I was in the hospital the other day with a heart rate of 160. They got it down and sent me home with antibiotics but I also have a terrible cold. I went and got some cough meds (robitussin) and I m back up to 100bpm. Is it because of the meds and my sickness or should I be concerned?

for your problem you have to take treatment separatly. ECG should be taken and consult cardiologist for advise on treatment consult pulmunologist for clinical examination of lung fields and take treatment for cough. if bronchoconstriction then bronchodialator hasto be taken. always take medicine on doctors advise. cold is viral and self limiting. no antibiotic is requered
