A member asked:

Can ibuprofen or gabapentin make my heart race? taking both and figure it's got to be one of them.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Suggest: Do NOT try to guess, rather, contact your doctor, discuss your symptoms, get appropriate cardiac testing and decide jointly how to proceed. Your rapid pulse may be due to an entirely different cause.
