If is it common and safe for heart to take Clarithomycin for a sinusitis 10 - 14 days (2x 500 mg)? Clarithomycin is only antibiotic (Levoxa and Augmentin doesn't) which help me but after 6 days of taking I have still sometimes pain (exercises etc.).

For 2 1/2 weeks had sinusitis and bronchitis. Finished z pack. Saw pcp wed and was told my lungs were clear. Still bringing up mucous, though clear. Today chest feels tight and I have mild pain in heart area when taking deep breath. I do have mild asthma.
Sudden chest pain on Jan1. Tried 5 rounds of anti-bs, omeprazole 40mg, symbicort inhaler, prednisone and nothing worked. heart checked everything ok?
Why does prednisone make your heart race hours after you take the medicine? I am currently taking it for asthma. I take it in the morning with food and then hours later my heart is racing near 116. I am taking a higher dosage of the medicine.
Just got put on augmentin after levoquin didn't work for bronchitis and sinusitis, fluid in ears etc. also got put on prednisone. Is this stronger?
