Hello how everyone doing now a days? I hope you all doing better and well. Anyone know if Hydro chloroquine can cause heart racing and palpitations? does it affect the hear? Makes your heart pounding some days. I am thinking to get off Hydro chloroquine and see what happens after my avise test results.

I now have irreversible heart problems. I have A Fib, which leads to oxygen 24 hours. That's how it turned out for me. You need a Dr to start to take it down. Good luck! Big hugs

Hi, I got off imuran in a week and started methotrexate. Im not sure if the heartbeat was fine rightaway but it’s been one month to methotrexate and Praise be to Allah, I my heartbeat (which was high even before i was diagnosed) is much better. I also got treated for iron deficiency but it did not immediately affect my heart rate.

That's one of the disadvantage but if you have eye specialist then it's okay because through your eye specialist they can monitor your eye sight and tell you if it's okay or not that's what I'm doing.
