Palpitations after taking steroids, taking augmentin for sinus infection
human
Last Tues I gave a 16 yr old female an 80 mg injection of depo medrol. I then started her on 20 mg daily starting the next day. The steroids made her nervous and she had heart palpitations. She was also put on augmentin all of this for a significant sinus infection . After one dose of 20 mg steroid and 2 days of augmentin she is still complaining of muscle spasms. It has been 7 days since the pill and 9 days since the injection YYYY@YYYY

Hi, Nervousness, palpitation and muscle spasms are symptoms of anxiety. Steroid preparations are known to associated with anxiety symptoms. As symptoms are still there after stoppage of steroid, then she need attention. If problem is very severe and leading to frequent interpersonal problems, then for assessment and treatment, you can visit specialists like psychiatrist. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Wish you Good Health. Regards, Dr. Ashish Mittal www.99doctor.com
