I've had asthma since I was a child, and sometimes when I have an attack, my heart feels like it's racing. Is this normal? Can asthma affect my heart rate, or should I be concerned about something else?

Yes, asthma can affect heart rate because low oxygen levels force the heart to pump harder, and certain inhaler medications are known stimulants. It's best to have a detailed discussion with your pulmonologist to check if your inhaler dosage needs adjustment.

I have mild asthma and every time I feel a bit wheezy, my heart rate shoots up on my watch and I start panicking. It turns out both the breathing struggle and the rescue inhalers can naturally raise your heart rate. Try to sit calmly, but do consult your doctor to be safe.

Hey, don't stress too much! It is actually super common for your heart to race a bit when you are struggling to breathe or when you puff your inhaler. Just sit down, relax, and let your doctor know about it next time you visit.
