A member asked:
Why does a bronchodilator exaggerate tachycardia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many effects: Remember that many bronchodilating medications work by stimulating certain receptors in the lung. But, these receptors are located elsewhere to, and have different effects when located in different organ systems. So while these meds may dilate the smooth muscle of the lungs, they can lead to increased heart rate when acting on the receptors around the heart.
