Hi,

So far as feeling of tightness of chest and increased heart beats are concerned, although there may be several reasons, in your case it may be,most probably due to gastritic symptoms which are caused by both of these medicines.

So in that case,one capsule of Vizylac once daily will help. As your primary symptoms remain the same even after taking these antibiotics, I will suggest to get a Urine culture and sensitivity test done and then, if possible, get back to us again or try talk to your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
