Obese w/ pounding heart and awareness of heartbeat ( sometimes no pain) almost 24/7 for 3 months after course of clarithromycin. hr is normal, and can drop to 50 at resting. ekg didn't show abnormal rhythm. what does this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pounding: With no evidence of abnormally fast heart rhythm or rates, the sensation of a forceful heart beat is most likely an increased awareness of normal heart action and some anxiety, although you must check to see that your blood pressure is not elevated and it's best to avoid caffeine and alcohol. Heart rate of 50 at rest is not unusual. If symptoms persist check a heart holter monitor for 24 hours
