General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

At the outset I would like to know what all medicines you had taken for asthma and pneumonia. If your doctor has given you a salbutamol group of drugs for asthma then high pulses and BP might be related to medicine. Another possibility is low oxygen level due to inability to breath in might be related to high pulse and BP due to sympathetic overstimulation.

Yet another possibility could be thyroid disorder or heart disease. Here, I would advise you for a battery of investigation like CBC, liver function test, ESR and thyroid function test and an EKG. In my opinion you should avoid stress and anxiety, just relax, take deep breaths or deep breathing exercises.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to ask for follow up question I will be happy to help you.

Best wishes,
Dr. B R Hudda
