[|Human|] I m a 50 year old male, 6 , 225 lbs with no history of medical problems. I recently returned home (Texas) from a trip to EG, Africa. During the trip I was prescribed Malarone. I took my final dose last night. I was on malarone for 23 days. I have experienced heart palpitations (side effect for malarone) for the last 3 day. Its possibly the palpitations are more frequent today but maybe I m just more aware and paying closer attention. Should I be concerned or will they go away now that I m finished with the Malarone?
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I agree with you on the fact that your palpitations could be related to Malone adverse effects. But, I would recommend going to the ER for a careful physical exam and some tests to investigate for other possible causes of cardiac arrhythmia: - a resting ECG- a chest X-ray study-complete blood count for anemia-thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
