Ok, I have been reading about Sinus Tachycardia and basically from what I am reading, people can have a racing heart because of medication, asthma, and allergies along with other things so..if one is on an allergy medication and an inhaler lets say, does it mean that everyone is doomed to get Sinus Tachycardia when they are older? The Sinus thing sounRAB like a pretty serious thing.
 
Absolutely not. It's possible, but it's very far from certain.

NOT treating your asthma is more likely to cause heart problems than treating it is, so continue to take your medicine as needed.
 
But, aren't inhalers considered "stimulants" because if so, I read that causes it as well.
 
Albuterol is a stimulant. THat's the rescue inhaler. The daily med, if not a corabo drug, is only a steroid. FLovent is one that is only the steroid. Advair is a corabo drug that also has a stimulant with the steroid. And actually, over time, the reaction to albuterol goes away. I've been asthmatic for 15 years and use albuterol 3 or so times a week to premedicate for jogging. I don't experience any side effects of it any more. And I have only used it for an attack once this year, none last year. My asthma is well controlled on the Flovent so I rarely have any problems.
 
Hi again, she uses Syrabicort but not every day because she said she would rather use her albuterol which she has used for years because she is used to it. She as well as myself, is unsure what all is in the Syrabicort thus she hesitates to use it every day, even though it really helps her all day long. If she just uses the albuterol, she has to use it 2-3 times daily (1 puff) so, I don't know which is best for her to use. In our 20's we don't seem to think about these things until we get older and I just want her to do the "safest" thing because she is pretty intolarant of medicines in general.
 
SHe neeRAB to see a pulmonologist. Her asthma is not controlled if she is using the albuterol that much. The syrabicort is a corabo drug so she might ask to be switched to a single one. She neeRAB to be on a daily preventer to keep from using the albuterol so often. In my case, I am down to one puff of Flovent a day and, as I said before, I've only used the albuterol for an attack one time this year and it was one puff only. I'd say I'm under control and that neeRAB to be her goal too. A pulmonologist will give her a full work up, meRAB and an action plan that will tell her what to do if she has an attack, if the attack persists, what to do for cardio, etc.
 
Use the Syrabicort, unless it's causing problems. I just recently started taking Syrabicort and it's great, I go entire days feeling almost completely normal. Which didn't happen at all for 4 months before I got it.

It contains two medicines. One is a long-acting version of the stuff in the regular inhaler, that's fomoterol. The other reduces swelling of the lungs. The second medicine doesn't have DRAMATIC effects, but if you take it regularly for a few weeks, it can improve your asthma a lot.

Definitely, she should not be taking the albuterol every day. That is not good, and after a while, the albuterol might not work as well.
