Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Sulfameth Trimethoprim

My doctor prescribed sulfameth/TMP 800/160mg TB. One twice a day for 3 days. The potential side effects are awful and scary. I take Metoprolol and Diltiazem for BP and afib. Am 65 years old and obese. I also have a heart murmur. Are there contraindications to taking this drug with my other prescriptions and can this drug affect my heart? Thank you, Sylvia
