What Causes Elevated Heart Rate And Body Shaking While On Medication For Bronchitis?
Question: I am taking a z pack (azithromycin) for bronchitis and I'm concerned some symptoms I am having may be side effects of the medication. I have felt shaky and my heart rate is elevated - for me- and I have developed a couple of reddish bruises/ discoloration marks on my hand and thigh. These developed quickly and I do not believe I have injured them. Any thoughts?
Brief Answer:
Possible side effects of azithromycin
