Have COPD, 40 yr old female 5 2 exsmoker 20+ years 20 min aerobic exercise and heart rate climbs to 230-215 for about 10 mins after exercise and is very slow to decline, shaky and feel as though I could pass out with weird burping sensations too, overheated not any sweat to speak of ever either. Can weight lift but when cardio is involved I get the above result and feel as though I will die.

Hello,

It can happen as a side effect of bronchodilators.

However, it is better to get an ECG to rule out possible causes like cardiac arrhythmia.

Consult a cardiologist and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
