I've been experiencing a rapid heartbeat lately, and I'm not sure if it's a side effect of the medication I'm on or if it's a heart issue. Could you give me some advice on this?

Rapid heart beat can be a concerning symptom. It is important to identify if it is a side effect of the tablets you are taking or a cardiac issue. To determine if it is a side effect of your medication, please provide me with the names of the tablets you are currently taking along with their dosages. If it is related to a cardiac problem, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
