Does anyone have this? It is very unnerving. Could it be the lyme, yeast, medications? I am on Ceftin and took a diaflucan today (Mon Wed and Fri.) Or is it my thyroid sputtering? (I have hashimotos.) A very slight tightness accompanies it sometimes. Any help would appreciated.

Yes, I get this very often. It didn't show up until I was well in to treatment.
When I take my pulse, I have skipped heartbeats. It happens most when I take minocycline or diflucan.
I went to a cardiologist and had all the tests under the sun. They dx'd Mitral Valve Prolapse with mild regurgitaion. It is listed as one of the Lyme symptoms in Dr. B's guidelines.
I control it best by taking Magnesium, Calcium and Potassium supplements. I also take a baby asprin every day.
Hope this helps,
Corgilla

Thanks so much to both of you. I think it might have been the Diaflucan since I took it at 800AM and now the fluttering has been waning as the day goes on. I would rather have yeast than that though! This disease sucks! The best to both of you.

What should I watch for while taking fluconazole? (Back to top) Tell your prescriber or health care professional if your symptoms do not improve in a few weeks. Some fungal infections need many weeks or months of treatment to cure. Keep taking your medicine regularly for as long as your prescriber or health care professional tells you to.
If you are taking this medicine for a long time you must visit your prescriber or health care professional for regular blood and liver function tests.
Alcohol can increase possible damage to your liver. Do not take alcoholic drinks while you take this medicine.
If you have a vaginal infection, do not have sex until you have finished your treatment. Your clothing may get soiled if you have a vaginal discharge. You can wear a sanitary napkin; do not use tampons. Wear freshly washed cotton, not synthetic, panties.
Fluconazole has been associated with birth defects when given at high doses early in a pregnancy. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, tell you prescriber or health care professional immediately. Women who may become pregnant should use effective birth control while taking fluconazole.
Where can I keep my medicine? (Back to top) Keep out of the reach of children in a container that small children cannot open.
Store at room temperature below 30�C (86�F). Keep container tightly closed. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date.
