See a doctor: i am glad he is feeling better and yes a lot of the symptoms could be stress related but the antibiotic that he took could cause arrhythmia that is the racing in his heart so he really need to see his doctor to eliminate the possibility of drug side effect and same time he will get proper medicine for his anxiety and stress please advise him to do so thank you and good luck
