You certainly could be having a reaction to one of your meds, but I'm not a doc so I don't know for sure. Maybe someone else can give you some info on the 2 drugs. If it were me and the heart rate stays consistent, I'd drop in at the local ER to be checked out if for no other reason than piece of mind. And definitely call your doc!

Z, I agree with Greg that you should talk to a doctor if that rate is new for you. My heart rate has always been about l00, with or without AD's. A lot of things can raise your pulse rate (including certain meds and anxiety). So check it out for your own peace of mind.
