Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a deep dry cough and my resting heart rate is 106. I feel a little light headed. I am 49 yr old fem. I am taking medications for fibromyalgia, and sleep apnea, and silent reflux, and cervical stenosis, and lumbar ridiculopathy. Can you tell me if I am just having a bad day or should I make an appointment with my dr.?
Hi, Heart rate of 106 is normal & you do not need to worry about that. Coughing can temporarily increase the heart rate which must be the cause inyour case. Still you need treatment for cough. So get it checked. As the cough will go, so will be your heart rate gradually. Thanks
