Hi Thanks for posting on HCM Among the side effects of cefdinir, fast heartbeat and fast pulse have been described.These may give you heart irregularities.However, with a past history of AFib, recurrence is possible and will also manifest with irregular heartbeats.I will suggest you see the Doctor for evaluation and an ECG.This may reveal the cause if AFib. In the meantime, i will suggest you try the following: -Eat heart-healthy foods -Exercise regularly -Quit smoking if a smoker -Maintain a healthy weight -Keep blood pressure and cholesterol levels under control -Drink alcohol in moderation Hope this will help you Best regards
