Guest guest Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Hi I was put on this drug while in Chronice AF and it did not seem to bother me. I was informed by the chest Consultant that he would rather me take this drug with oral steriods then use the reliver or Berotec or the long lasting Ventolin which I cannot for the life of me think of its name. I noticed when I was on this long lasting one, it was about the time that I started getting palpatations and the heart problems. If there is a tie up I am not sure but the Asthma drugs do have an effect on the heart. C Uk > in OR: > >I have been on Singulair for about 1 year now. I wanted to get off >of the theophylline.
