Funny that you should bring this up. I've noticed frequent palpitations (PVC's - "skipped" beats) in the last two months. I don't remember ever having these before, and have been digging for information to see if they can be caused by my meds (gabapentin & duloxetine). The little info I've been able to find suggest that both meds can cause arrhythmias in a small percentage of patients. The general info about PVC's suggest that they usually aren't a concern unless accompanied by dizziness and/or lightheadedness. However, I'm a bit concerned since it's a new thing for me.
I'm keeping track of their frequency (which turns out to be almost all the time) and will talk to my doc about them at the next appointment.
