Fast heart rate after taking medicine
I took taxim o tablet because my doc suggested it for a swollen lump on my forearm. As soon as I took my heart started racing. My heart rate is around 120 and I had chest pressure due to excessive bloating. Why is it so? I stopped taking medicine because I was scared.

Your heart rate can be high due to fever due to lump throat as well. If u say specifically u observed after taking medication
It can be due to bloating and uneasiness caused by antibiotic.
Some people have it while some may not. If antibiotic is really indicated and u have to take . Take after having food and watch for symptoms. If u r having the same . May be a change in antibiotic according to prescription by primary physician.
