What Causes Elevated Heart Rate After Taking Coricidin?

I m an athlete, took 12 coricidin pills, ever since I ve noticed a difference in my heart rate. At resting it will feel faster than normal, somewhere in the 70 s bpm when it used to be in the 40 s to 50 s bpm. Since over dosing on the coricidin pills I ve noticed the difference, this happened about 2 weeks ago. I ve gotten and EKG and results were normal. Should I be concerned? Will my heart return to normal? Keep in mind this was my first time ever abusing this medicine called triple C s

Hello,

It is a transient response and will return to normal by itself.

As the ECG is normal, nothing much to worry and no definite treatment is required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
