Rapid Pulse

Someone with aspiration pneumonia may notice that their heart is beating faster than usual. This, along with faster breathing, can sometimes happen as the body attempts to compensate for the lack of oxygen.

Any changes in pulse should be reported to a doctor as soon as possible. Some individuals who are concerned about their heartbeat may not be sure if it's an emergency. However, it's better to go to urgent care or an emergency room, rather than waiting for the symptoms to get worse.2‘Aspiration Pneumonia.’ Patient Info, patient.info/chest-lungs/chest-infection/aspiration-pneumonia
