Hi I was recently admitted into hospital as my oxygen was low and very out of breath. I was tested for a suspected PE as i have a history of this my D diner was raised but CT came back negative. It did show an extensive infection so started on. Iv antibiotics. My bloods also showed low potassium. The previous week i had been experiencing cold sweats and a racing heart with breathlessness just sitting.
After spending 2 nights in and several episodes of the heart rate racing.
My Dr said I could go home taking supplement for potassium high dose. Antibiotics and my usual inhalers. But it's been three days and the cold sweats keep happening with a raised heart rate at resting 90'-110 making the bed leaves me gasping and sweating.
I am just wondering if my heart is under any strain as my usual resting rate is 58-60.
They did mention the heart was a little irregular but Dr seem to think it was the infection followed by potassium level?
Any suggestions please ?
