Help please, my doctors prescribing me heart racing medications. what are the bad effects?

Depends on: The medicine. But hopefully you won't have any. Usually these drugs are monitored periodically by your blood tone sure everything is ok. If your heart goes too fast too long it can cause a heart attack so the medicine is really needed. Never stop a med without talking to your doc .
