HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Antibiotics , like all medications, can be associated with a possible side effects. Azithromycin can be associated gastrointestinal side effects such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea.
The increased heart rate would be due to the infection and also related to the fluid loss due to the diarrhoea.
If you are unable to tolerate the effect of the medication, then you may want to consult your doctor.
I hope this helps
