Arrhythmias

Last year i had infection in my legs and spent four days in the hospital. I was sent home while still feeling sick with thirteen doses of antibiotics per day for fourteen days. It was five different antibiotics and i do not know which ones at this time.
I recently heard that antibiotics can cause Arrhythmias a problem that i experienced a month after going home from the hospital.
If this is possible i would like to know where i can read more about it.

I have not read the material on this reference (on MedHelp), but it may be of some help:

http://www.medhelp.org/drugs/antibiotic/show/12817

I will also guess there is a lot on the "web".  

From my experience, minor relative to use of antibiotics, and reading posts here I have not seen any specific relationship between hearth rhythm and use of antibiotics.

You post may yet attract input form others who have specific experience/knowledge.

Wishing you well,

Hello,

Please look into Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). It is a very unheard of nervous system disorder that prevents the body from being able to properly adjust to the pull of gravity. Therefore, symptoms arise, such as: rapid heart rate upon standing, low or high blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, fatigue, sweating, anxiety-like symptoms, headaches, shortness of breath, inability to exercise, digestion problems, etc. The symptoms are endless and vary person to person day to day. Very few doctors are familiar with this illness and often misdiagnose patients. This illness can be brought on by infections, viruses, trauma, etc.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Best wishes,
Brandi
