jenwic Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have asthma and can't tolerate Albuterol and Singulair. They both make my heart race and pound. I have an appt. to see my allergist tomorrow and I would like to see what meds that all of you can tolerate. I am on a steroid inhaler (Pulmicort)and Rhinocort nasal spray. When I get a cold (like now) these meds just aren't enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delphicdragon Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I can't tolerate Albuterol either. Took one puff years ago and it sent my heart rate to 180 laying down!! Almost went to the ER for that, but managed to sit it out for the 2 hours it took for the med to start to wear off.My asthma is mostly controlled without meds, BUT if I have a flare, I take Xopenex as a nebulizer treatment and Maxair as an inhaler. I've found neither screws with my heart rate too much - though both will make it jump a little (from my baseline of 100 to around 125)Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldicedance Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I use Symbicort and Xopenex Inhaler and sometimes the nebulizer. The Xopenex does not cause as much tachycardia as albuterol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
