Considerations
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
From what you have described it sounds like the symptoms you experienced may be related to your body adjusting to the new dosage of your medications. This can sometimes contribute to fluctuation in heart rate. The fluctuation in your body temperature is a bit more than usual but still potentially related.
at this point I do not think you're in any immediate danger. I would continue to monitor your symptoms for the time being. If you continue to develop palpitations dizziness shortness of breath or chest pain and I would recommend you report to your local emergency room for immediate evaluation.
it may simply take some time and quite often may require a week to 10 days for your body to fully adjust to the new medication regimen.
I would certainly contact your physician on Monday to check in and see if she has any additional recommendations.
thank you again for sending your question.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
