What Causes Heart Palpitations With And Without A Cough?

I am having heart palpitations with and without a cough for about five weeks now. This occurs daily, sometimes throughout the day. For approximately 45 days prior to this starting I started taking prescription Integra F capsules for anemia. I also take Lexapro (10 mg) and I was taking a childrens multiple chewable viatimin. Around the 45 day mark, I not only had the heart palpitations and cough, but was also short of breath, dizzy, and felt confused. I found information indicating never to take the Integra F capsule with any type of multiple viatimin as it could cause viatimin overdose. I immediately stopped taking the children viatimin; however, after five weeks I am still getting the heart palpitations and cough. I feel like I brought this on myself taking the two together, but do not know that for sure and do not want to ignore it.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would prefer if you mention age, and if there any other chronic medical disease like diabetes. But generally, don’t worry of vitamin overdose because it is usually rare and less harmful, if administered orally and the body can get ride of it gradually from hours to days.

Regarding palpitations you need to check ECG.

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