What Could Be The Reason Behind Experiencing Skipped Heart Beats After Taking Multaq?

I have been taking Multaq for the past 3 weeks and today I am experiencing skipped heart beats. I don t know if that means I am in AFib or not. Prescription printout states that I should call a doctor for advice if I go into AFib while taking Multaq. Please advise.

Hi I read your query.

I would like to suggest going to see your doctor and an ECG should be run. Most probably it will result in atrial premature beats.

If the rhythm is normal than don't worry.

Hope it was of help!
