How Safe Is It To Take Fluconazole To Stop The Yeast Infection?

After a series for of 6 different antibiotics (for tooth infections and basal cell surgery) , I was plagued with vaginal yeast infections. I have taken fluconazole numerous times to stop the yeast infections. I also take high blood pressure meds ( bisoprolol, amlodiopine) and cholesterol meds (simvastatin). During my last check-up and echo cardiogram, pericarditis was detected. I have no symptoms. I am thinking that the yeast infections are to blame. I feel like I am getting another yeast infection (after several months) and am wondering of the safety of taking fluconazole. I have the medication at home but have not used it since I am on the above medications. I saw warnings about the fluconazole and my bp and cholesterol meds. Since it is the weekend and a holiday, how safe would it be to take the fluconazole so I can stop the yeast infection in its tracks?
