Can taking Azithromycin cause heart prob

My father had taken Azithromycin in the evening and then at night around 10 he took Dilzem cd 120. At around 3 am his heart rate had shot to 124 and came to normal only after 10-15 minutes. He took 2 Disprin tablets fearing a heart attack and then heart rate came to normal. Could Azithromycin have caused it?

Why us he taking azithromycin? Is he having fever? Usually antibiotics won't cause cardiac issues unless allergic reactions. But fever can cause tachycardia.
