A member asked:

Doc took me off allergy meds to see if cause my palpitations.gave allergy shot. after a couple days still palpitations and feel have brick on chest.

Heartburn?: Some allergy medications with decongestants can cause palpitations. Is the allergy shot a steroid shot? That can give you heart burn and cause the heaviness in the chest. Ask your doctor what he gave you and i would avoid steroid shots all together.
