Okay, this is the sort of question that you must pose directly to the prescribing physician. While there are contraindications regarding use of this drug while lactating or pregnant, your primary care doctor needs to be made aware of the circumstances and subsequently provide direction to you.

While the forum exists to provide supportive medical information and discussion of symptoms related to palpitations, diagnostic tests, procedures and similar matters, seeking advice about whether or not to take medications must naturally be addressed by the prescribing doctor.

A good rule of thumb when making inquiry on the forum is to assure that your question has already been posed to your doctor and guidance or instruction provided. The forum is merely a source for gaining a better understanding of medical issues which you may be experiencing and that have already been initially addressed by your primary care doctor or specialist.
