Biaxin heart problems

Hi, I am currently taking Biaxin 500mg 2x a day for lyme. Has anyone else noticed any irregular heart beats with this? Sometimes I notice my heart is beating pretty fast when I'm sitting down or with moderate exercise, and I get palpitations as well sometimes. Is this safe to keep taking?

Unfortunately I can't get a hold of my dr or the pharmacy, they are closed until Tuesday. I think I'm going to stop it, as im experiencing the worst chest pain I've felt, it doesn't feel normal.

I forgot to mention chest pain in my original post. I have palpitations and severe chest pain. I've only been on it for a week. The only other symptoms I've experienced is stomach cramps and nausea, since for me its been hard on my stomach even with full meals.

I had rapid & pounding heart on Biaxin. In retrospect, it was possibly caused by systemic candida (that was aggravated by taking antibiotics). I had also had a severe iron deficiency.

Whenever I had heart issues, my LLMD had me stop the meds for 4-5 days, then re-start on a low dose and build. When yeast was spotted on my tongue, he stopped all antibiotics and I took Fluconazole daily for 6 weeks. Now just re-starting the Biaxin, am building and so far it is going ok.

If you have chest pains, I would definitely stop the Biaxin. My LLMD was very clear to me about heart symptoms are nothing to mess about with and sometimes too much is too much. Even now, re-starting the Biaxin and pulsing with Flagyl & Riamet, I was given strict orders to stop all meds if my heart acts up.

My instinct says to stop taking the Biaxin, and if you do not improve rapidly and chest pains continue, go to an ER.

Are you feeling any better? I agree with the others to stop the meds. and get checked out.
