Talk to General Physician on Oximeter Sounding Alarm Due To High Pulse Rate

person-avatar

Asking For Self, Male 32, Karachi

I am COVID-19 positive and having resting pulse rate from 95-100. If I even go to attached washroom my pulse rate jumps to 130+ and oximeter starts to rapidly beep. It just causes slight breathlessness and lightheadedness. Should I consult cardiologist?

Sir my oxygen saturation is now Alhamdulillah from 94-98 depending. If heart rate jumps up, so does my oxygen saturation. I don't have to use oxygen cylinder since past 7 days. I am attaching my xray and current medicines.

Xray taken on Thursday 25 Jun 2020 but app is crashing when I upload the picture. its typical covid patient xray with right lung shrunk from bottom left lung having heavy congestion (told by Dr who checked xray).
Dr advised Siroline 3 times, Mucolator twice, folic acid once a day and nebulize with normal saline every 8 hours.
Before using these medicine my oxygen saturation max was 94 but now it goes easily till 98.
I am only scared because of pulse rate.
I don't have any as my weight before covid was 90+ kg and now it is 75Kg.
for this I am regularly taking ensure supplement and proper meals.

Sars-Cov 2 is a novel corona virus.
it can effect the heart as well.
however fast heart rate can of many reasons.
your chest medication like Nebuliztion & Siroline can also cause tachycardia.
you need some basic assessment including ECG.
reduce chest medications. take Saline Nebs & steam inhalation. Avoid antibiotics,
if symptoms persist you can talk to me of you wish or at least see a qualified physician.

Dear Respected Doctors، Thank you so much for your support۔ Alhamdulillah I am now tested negative after 1 month۔
My problem of high pulse rate solved as soon as I discontinued Siroline syrupÛ” And my oxygen saturation has also improvedÛ”
Yes I do get out of breath sometimes but it very quickly resolves on its ownÛ”
May be this this because my right lung is shrunk to half nowÛ” Consulted with with a pulmonary doctorÛ” He said it'll take time to recover and I should be thankful to Allaah that I was able to live through thisÛ”
