Cardiologist,  's  Response
The good news is that at age 15, an uncomfortable awareness of the heartbeat (palpitation) is rarely life threatening. However, there are several disturbances of rhythm and other problems that can be bothersome. One of the most common sources of the symptoms that you described is single extra heart beats in between normal heart beats. While not dangerous, these can make you feel somewhat odd and tired. They usually respond with no need for treatment. In your daughter's case, the use of meloxicam and sulfadiazine suggest an underlying medical problem and relationship with a physician. Be sure to discuss the symptoms that you describe and this response with her physician.
