[|Human|] I have astma and take alubertol and advair daily. I have been short of breath for the last week and a half. I cant catch my breath doing simple things. My blood pressure has been high and my pulse. Highest BP today 142/91 and pulse 112. I know the albuterol can make your heart beat fast. what about the advair? I have been on both for years. I use my albuterol daily.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. I would come up with these possibilities for such type of breathlessness, This includes.1 Cor pulmonale, diagnosis can be confirmed by X-ray chest and M R I. As you mentioned that you are having asthma from many years, so this is very common feature in old asthmatic case that their asthma turned into cor pulmonale.2 Congestive cardiac (heart) failure i.e. C H F, diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination as well as treadmill test. E K G & echo will find out the exact nature of disease. As you mentioned that you are also having high B P, so chance of C H F can not be rule out.3 As albuterol is a potent bronchodilator and not effective. While adverse (fluticasone +albuterol) is also steroid and bronchodilator. Both Chat Doctor. In my opinion consult a cardiologist and get his opinion. Good luck.
