I am 33 yr old female, and after my 2nd pregnancy I have developed a heart arrythmia, where my heart will skip a beat, double up, but the cardioligist feels it's more annoying than serious. It happens all day long. I intend to make an appt with the rythm cardio to have the electrical aspect looked into.
I currently have an infection in my tooth, that is going to require an extraction on Monday. I was put on Clindamycin, and started to worry because it was affecting my stomach. THey offered to switch me to a Zpack- azythromycin.
1) Are both these antibiotics safe, and not going to affect my heart?
2) Is there any special precautions I shoud take with the novicane, etc when I get my dental work done, taking the heart arrythmia into consideration?
Thank you!View Thread

I am wearing a 5 day event monitor due to the frequent palpitations and flubs I have been experiencing. I was just curious about this technology....I have to wear one electode under my right color bone and the second under my left breast, just above my rib. I was wondering if the wires that will then lay across my breast give off any type of radiation or any harm to my breast since it on. I am just worried about the breast. I have the monitor itself buckled into my pants. The 24 hr I was not so concerned with, but this will be 5 nights I am sleeping with this on my breast and it worries me....View Thread

My sister was tacy in her preg, needed an ablastion after her preg. I adv of my sisters issues and the card said I am prob taking after her. She said my ekg was normal (i am not tacy every day), said i didnt need a monitor bc she knows im racing from what ive said., I do have my echo on tue. The card recommended I take a betablocker that is safe, but I am hesitant to take any meds in general, esp when they could slow my babys heart rate as she said. My question is: is my ob correct that it wont hurt my baby? also, are there any safe natural ways to lower my hr when this happens? is it safe to prescribe meds as she has before knowing what my echo results are? Thank you!View Thread
