Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Indigestion and bowel distension (gas) is responsibile for heart palpitations. Indigestion is associated with premature heart beats which are harmless in most of the cases and you shouldn't worry about them.
However I would recommend to schedule for an appointment with a cardiologist for further information.
If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations:
- Blood work
- Ecg
- Cardiac echo
- Holter monitoring
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!

Hi back,
Yes antibiotic use especially Amoxicillin use may be responsibile for indigestion and palpitations.
These side effects will be improved with probiotics use. Probiotics use improve indigestion symptoms and by doing so reduce the palpitations.
