A member asked:

Can you tell me about antibiotics prescribed by hospital making my heart race?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antibiotic: Generally antibiotics don't make your heart race, infections they are given for can. Some antibiotics do have an uncommon incidence of abnormal rhythms but you haven't provided enough information to judge whether that is relevant to your situation.
