Suffering From PTSD. Started Taking Z-pack. Will This Cause Irregular Heartbeat?
Hi there ~
Z-pack is not known for irregular heartbeats. However, when you read the product information it will give you all the side effects even if a handful of case reports were documented. Please do not get anxious about the information. You may not at all have this side effect of irregular heartbeats from taking Z-pak.
I understand that you have been having panic attacks and suffering from PTSD after you husband died a few years ago. Yes, the stress itself can cause you to have rapid heartbeats. I recommend that you visit with your psychiatrist to optimize the treatment of your condition by adjusting medications.
I hope this helped. Take care and have a lovely day !
