Suggest Treatment For Heart Palpitations And Irregular Pulse Rate

Hi dr, My hubby suffered from severe food poisoning two days back. Vomiting stopped after a few hours, a few IV s and antibiotics- however he s been experiencing palpitations and irregular pulse rates since then. His BP is normal but cholesterol is a bit on the higher side. Could the food poisoning have caused the irregularities?
