Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Doxazosin and Hydralazine.
Yes, both the mentioned drugs have a tendency to cause irregular heart beats.
Used in the treatment of high BP and other condition like benign prostatic enlargement Doxazosin causes increased or irregular heart beats.
Hydralazine which is used to controlled very high BP is also known to cause sudden fall in BP and a resultant increased or irregular heart beats.
Kindly visit the ER for further evaluation.
