Side Effects of Antiarrhythmic Drugs

A person suffering from an irregular heart beat may need medical assistance to correct their heart’s activity. Known as a heart arrhythmia, these irregular beats can lead to serious health concerns if left untreated. Some more destructive arrhythmias may even lead to heart attacks due to abnormal beat rhythms. However, the drugs used to stabilize these heart beats can lead to some additional health issues.

If a doctor or other medical professional fails to properly administer antiarrhythmic drugs, the patient may suffer serious side effects that can lead to additional health problems that may require further treatment to correct. To learn more about your rights and options as an injured patient, contact the New Jersey medical malpractice lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529 today.

Health Concerns with Antiarrhythmic Drugs

A person using an antiarrhythmic drug may experience a variety of other health problems tied to the drug. There are several different types of drugs used to combat different kinds of irregular heartbeats. As a result, people may not experience some of these side effects depending on their particular heart problems.

Antiarrhythmic medications have been linked to the following issues:

  • Diarrhea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Vision problems
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Worsened heartbeat irregularity
  • Coughing
  • Pain in the chest
  • Foot or leg swelling

A person suffering from these side effects may be further injured as a result. A physician should carefully monitor their patients on these drugs, and failure to do so may be grounds for legal action.
