Hello
Domstal with doses above 30 mg/day are associated with cardiac side effects and also in mothers with past h/o cardiac problems. You can use the prescribed dose for a week and stop the drug in due course if any palpitations or any side effects any. Breast milk increases as baby latches on to it as it is a reflex and increases gradually.

If by Domstal you mean domperidone, the regimen shown in the screenshot appears to be for increasing breast-milk supply.
The important point is the total daily dose:
10 mg three times daily = 30 mg/day — this is the most commonly studied dose for lactation.
The evidence suggests a modest increase in milk production, particularly in mothers of preterm infants.
* >30 mg/day should generally be avoided because the risk of QT prolongation and cardiac arrhythmia increases with higher doses.
Next Steps
Prolonged treatment also deserves more caution; evidence for benefit beyond about 7–14 days is limited.
Health Tips
Palpitations, dizziness, fainting or seizures → stop the drug and seek urgent medical assessment.

You're right to flag this. Domperidone used for milk supply does carry a small risk of heart rhythm effects in some people.
Next Steps
Please tell your prescribing doctor about this concern before you continue the course, especially if you notice palpitations, dizziness, or fainting.
Health Tips
Don't extend or repeat this course on your own beyond what you've already been prescribed.
