Julie Ann,
Thank you for joining our community!
There are other medication options. I suggest discussing this with your pulmonologist. Your doctor will assist you to identify what med/ meds are causing tachycardia. He/ she must review any possible interactions with other medications that you may be taking. In addition to the community support you receive here on BronchiectasisandNTM360, you can call one of our Patient Ambassadors directly by phone at (833) 411-5864. Our Ambassadors are real live patients with experiences similar to yours and understand what you are going through.
You can also email us at info@bronchiectasisandntm360.org to get more information about medications. Our Ambassadors can’t provide medical advice but may be able to assist you with additional information and resources.
