Heart PalpitationsThere are many causes of heart palpitations. They are often caused by the stress of exercise, anxiety or the ingestion of stimulant drugs (caffeine, amphetamines, cocaine). Heart palpitations can also indicate the presents of a serious medical condition such as one of the following:
FeedbackSubj: Prescription drugs Date: 3/16/2007 Maybe you could include prescription drugs for heart palpitations when present even not taking those drugs identified in your list. My doc. recommended to take cordarone (100mg)/day. It's a French drug by Sanofi-Synthelabo France. I have ischemic heart condition. Thanks. Razak AskDocWeb: In the USA the drugs prescribed for heart palpitations is a short list: Tambocor (flecainide acetate) and less often Pacerone (Amiodarone HCl), that's about it. Subj: Permanent heart problem? Date: 7/9/2007 I took Wellbutrin SR for 2 years and then started to have heart palpitations. That was over 5 years ago, and I still have them. Has the Wellbutrin caused a permanent heart problem? Erin AskDocWeb: You will need to consult with a cardiologist to find out if Wellbutrin caused permanent heart damage or not. Subj: Heart palpitations Date: 9/12/2007 I use to take Effexsor for heart palpitations, I found that this did not help much, it just gave me constant nausea, so I stopped taking it. I found that my palpitations come and go, sometimes I'm fine for a while then I have times when I get them every night for a week. I did go to the doctor, she prescribed Zoloft, which I don't think makes any sense, because this is used for depression. I will not take it, it has alot of bad side effects. When I go to the doctor again I will tell her to prescribe something like tropol. I have been treated for palpitations in the past and I have had a heart monitor put on me and they found that my heart was fine, I believe I do have arythimias. Please advise. Maria AskDocWeb: If the heart monitor was not done within the past year you may want to consult with a specialist, a cardiologist instead of just an MD. Subj: Rapid heartbeat Date: 11/26/2007 I also have taken wellbutrin SR for 6 years within that amount of time my heartbeat really became rapid and lately it was so fast I would pass out, I had to have a cardiac ablasion on a damaged portion of my heart. Could the wellbutrin have caused this? Melissa AskDocWeb: No, Wellbutrin would not cause your heart to race. Subj: L-lysine Date: 7/1/2008 Hi, a friend has concerns that l-lysine added to medication might be the cause of her palpitations? Could this be true? I have found nothing yet to support this. Regards, Rory AskDocWeb: The reason you haven't found anything to support your friend's concern is that the opposite is true. A deficiency of l-lysine can lead to an imbalance in cells that may cause an irregular heartbeat. Typically a deficiency of L-Lysine can result in;
Subj: Heart skipping then usual Date: 7/6/2008 Taking toporal for 2 years for heart palpitations...the last week they seem more noticeable and more frequent...lost my dad 2 weeks ago, maybe his death has caused anxiety, could this happen? Or should I contact my cardiologist, I really have more skipping then usual and now I have fear. Thank you Melodie AskDocWeb: A certain amount of fear is healthy. That is your body's way of letting you know that something may be threatening your health and/or wellbeing and requires your attention. You need to find out what that something is and what to do about it. In this case that means a trip to your doctor's office. If you find this page useful share it with others.
