Hello,
Thanks for the query.

Sinus infections and palpitations and usually not related.

In your case it may be due to. .
1.Thyroid disorder.
2. Adverse drug reaction.
3. Rarely, myocardial infarction

I would like to know, the following..
1. Are You suffering from hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism ?
2. Are you taking any medication for the thyroid disorder ?
3. Which antibiotic has been prescribed by your doctor ?
4. Did you experience similar palpitations any time in the past ? If yes, was there any chest pain or feeling of heaviness in the chest with sweating.

Kindly answer the above to help me in finding out a cause for your palpitations.

Wishing you good health.

Thank you.
