Fluconazole And Arrythmia

I had very strong side-effects from this drug. I took one 150mg pill.
The following morning I had nausea vomiting, diarhea, weakness, dizziness and what felt like arrythmia - later confirmed by a BP monitor that measures for it. I don't have a question but wanted people to know. The prescribing nurse practitioner blew it off but after seeing my internist and a cardiologist and taking numerous tests to rule out other causes, both doctors agreed that it was the Fluconazole. It's been over 2 months and I still get occasional episodes of arrythmias accompanied by weakness and fatigue.

It is listed right in the precautions for the drug that Fluconazole can cause QT interval problems that can cause severe cardiac arrhythmias in some people.

The Nurse Practitioner should have known about, but some are not educated on the medications they prescribe.

As to the other effects you mentioned, they are all normal and expected side effects of this medication.
