Could heart palpitations be connected to asthma?

Not Typically: Ashma is usually not associated with palpitations but many medications used to treat asthma can case irregular heart beat or palpitations.

Med side-effect: The most common reason for palpitations with asthma is increased heart stimulation by excessive use of bronchodilators like albuterol or theophylline. People with asthma often rely more on these reliever drugs than they should. Routine use of controller medications does not cause palpitations reducing the need to use reliever drugs. Palpitations can also occur from lack of oxygen in severe asthma.
