Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hi . I was cardioverted to NSR on Dec 27 and caught some kind of virus in the ER. The day after I got home I went to my GP and he prescribed a " Z Pack " for me. I took it for 4 or 5 days and it cleared up whatever I had but days later I went back into AFIB. The NSR lasted on 9 days and it was back to the ER for another Cardioversion. I have since read on this board....last month....about the effects of antibiotics and afib. I was on Amiodorone so maybe that had something to do with it. My GP said it shouldn't have effect the AFIB.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hi , I took z-paks a couple of times in the last few years and did not experience any bad reactions from it. I do remember being concerned about taking it, but it did not trigger an afib episode. > Does anyone ever get a reaction from the antibiotic zithromycinor zpack, like nausea and afib and clamminess behind neck? all the pharmacists say it is safe for people with afib, just wondering if anybody has had a reaction . thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm alergic to penicillin and tetracycline so that leaves levaquin or zithromycin. When I researched antibiodics for pneumonia, those were the 4 recommended. There were other names but all were one of the other 4. Zithromycin gave me no problems. Levaquin made my leg muscles and tendons hurt.
