Can cocodamol cause palpitations or effect heart rate

Oddly, the gp asked me to take cocodamol to stop a cough I have; I have become aware of heart palpitations

Could they be connected?

Possibly. Speak to your pharmacy

I think it possibly could be from the codeine. I get a similar feeling when I take solpadeine.

Yes, if you taken the ones with caffeine in.

notangelinajolie · 15/02/2023 07:57

Solpadeine contains caffeine.

It can lower heart rate. Mine goes really low after a couple of days taking it.

Hmm no caffeine

Oh, I'm confused; I found this but wondered if it was for people taking a lot
