Can Kenalog Shot Cause Heart Palpitations?
Hello, I am a 39 year old female. I received my second ever kenalog shot for allergies over a week ago. The one previous was a year prior to that. In the past 3 days I have been experiencing heart palpitaions the entire day and night. I have had palpiations for years now, but only once in a while. The palpitions I am now experiencing are continuous. I had been tested about five years ago and was told I had tricuspid and mitral valve regurgitation. Several years later a different doctor sent me for testing and it showed no regurgitation. It doesnt make sense to me. My question is do you think it is possible the palpitations are caused by the kenalog? I was put back on Singulair as well but stopped taking it to see if that was the culprit. I am uneasy with this feeling and it is stressing me out more so worrying about it. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
With the symptoms of palpitation even if this is just once suggested the valvular heart disease like mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation then it has to be focus on this only because palpitation may not be due to Kenalog that you have taken.
Just simple test is there and it is the EKG it will clear all the doubt because it is the anxiety will be the cause for palpitation and it may not be the heart illness or rhythm disorder at all.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
