Question: i have sick sinus syndrome, used my 2nd dose of monistat 3 cream tonight, I am also tired from working late and took an over 50 women's multi vitamin today. I am having lots of palpitations and am a little tachy. I looked up the side effects for the vag cream, I think it may be the vitamin. My last pacer interrogation was fine, I wasn't even pacing at all and no svt or v tach was recorded. I think I will just have to endure the palpitations for awhile. what do you think ?
Brief Answer:
Watch carefully, opinion of dr, usual regimen
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
I am afraid you will have to seek the opinion of your doctor in case this really becomes very disturbing or persistent. I would strongly suggest you suspend any other supplements or drugs for now, which have not been regularly prescribed by your cardiologist.
Many of these supplements, Vitamins do have beneficial health consequences for sure. However, most also have consequences on the heart, but the exact mechanisms and consequences have really not been well documented. It would be better to stay away from for a while, see how your heart rhythm evolves. The opinion of your cardiologist, in my opinion, remains imperative under these circumstances before you introduce any new drugs into your treatment plan, especially now as you notice such symptoms.
Modification of drug doses or some modifiers by your doctor could be most beneficial. Staying and watching carefully how your health evolves is a perfect idea. But doing this under the prescribed drug regimen of your doctor is better. This will for sure clarify if the new drugs you took have a role to play or not. Kind regards.
Please, do feel free asking further questions in case of need. I shall be humbled making any suggestions.
