Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In your case, palpitation could be due to psychological reason or drug induced anxiety. If you have palpitation after stopping antibiotic, then it is more likely psychological anxiety. In that case, you can try some anxiolytic like low dose benzodiazepine and you would improve. In case, it stays, then you can consult your doctor. If you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
