Dilemma
Though I was put on antibiotics a few days ago I hadnt looked at the do's/donts, untill today. There it said ' Do Not take if you have an Irregular Heart Rythm ',as I have this I asked advice at Boots pharmacy, they said probably not to take it ,but check with my Dr. I rang my Dr , explained the problem and they promised to ring back, which they did, to say they had looked at my records and its alright to take the antibioticsNow Im in a dilemma of who to believe

Re: Dilemma
I would think that your course of anti biotics would be no more than a week and doctors do not now prescribe them, unless they are really necessary. The printed "side effects" on the sheet are just a possibility so I would hope your doctor, who knows your health condition better than anyone, would give the best advice. Try not to worry about it but if you notice any change in your heart rhythm, call your doctor immediately.

Re: Dilemma
Might the anxiety alone alter your heart rhythm, then you would probably think its the tablets.There are well over 100 different antibiotics I believe, so if you are really not happy deylon, why not ask your doctor if you could have a different one?
I know there are certain ones for certain jobs, but no harm in asking if there is something else they could prescribe. Tell them you are concerned about the possibility of that side effect? Hopefully they will either be able to reassure you, or change the drug.
