What Causes Fast Heart Rate During Aerobic Exercise While Having COPD?
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, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
