Does Atrial Flutter Cause Bronchial Pneumonia?
I have diagnosed with a-flutter. I recently developed bronchial pneumonia and prescribed AMOX-CLAVWE ER, 1000-62.5 mg tabs along with Azithromycin Tab 250 mg along with Ventolin HFA inhaler for use on a prn basis. Since beginning use I have had several instances of A-Flutter. Is there a causal relationship here?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The ventolin inhaler can cause an increase in heart rate which may manifest itself as atrial flutter.
This is a known side effect of this type of medication and it is the most likely cause out of the medications mentioned.
The palpitations are temporary however and would resolve when the medication is no longer required.
I hope this helps
