Some drugs can , but RA can too so whatever the cause I would discuss this with your GP xx

Tramadol give me heart palpitations. My gp changed my pain meds. Make sure you speak with someone. 😊

allanah is right. Palpitations can have many causes. Visit your GP and hopefully you'll find the cause. Good luck.

I take celebrex. 100 or 200 mg per day. I have been taking it for three months. At the two month mark I had ecg's daily and a holter(medical study) and heart was fine. I haven't had any side effects with it. Digestion is much improved with celebrex over ibuprofen. So, maybe not the celebrex. Good luck.
