Drugs and Medications
Many medications and drugs would increase the risk of developing an irregular heartbeat. This is especially high in those people who have a genetic factor or underlying heart disease. The list includes digoxin, cocaine, alcohol, antibiotics, antiarrhythmic medications, psychotropic drugs, as well as non-sedating antihistamines. If you are at risk, make sure to discuss it with your healthcare provider to choose a suitable drug. Do not stop taking these medications without consultation from your doctor because it can lead to many serious complications. [4]
