A pounding heartbeat (palpitations) may be caused by stress, anxiety, high caffeine intake, lack of sleep, or strenuous activity. It may also occur due to irregular heart rhythms or an underlying heart condition. If this happens frequently, lasts a long time, or is accompanied by chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, please see a doctor promptly for evaluation.

Can taking Beat HF 5 Tablet cause a slower heartbeat?

Yes, Beat HF 5 Tablet (Ivabradine) can cause a slower heartbeat. This is an expected effect of the medicine, as it is designed to reduce heart rate in conditions such as heart failure or tachycardia (an abnormally fast heartbeat). However, if your heartbeat becomes unusually slow or you experience dizziness or fainting, please contact your doctor immediately.
