Avelox I.V. and avelox

I took Avelox a couple of months ago to treat a urinary tract infection which i thought was kind of strange. About two tays later i started getting severe heart palpitations. It felt as if my heart was going to explode from beating so fast. I almost went to the hospital but stopped myself when i thought it could just be anxiety. I called the doctor after 3 days of taking it and he said that my symptoms could be side effects of Avelox but were rare. Ill tell you one thing i will NEVER take Avelox again and i dont recommend that anyone take it unless absolutely necessary.

I took Avelox about 9:15pm on 7/3/2007for a light sinus infection that I was diagnosed with. At 10:15 I woke up and my heart was beating fast and my throat started to close up. My BIL rushed me to the hospital and I was diagnosed with an allergic reaction, given benedryl and a cortizone shot to help with the reaction. I ended up going to emergency 4 times before I got any relief from the reaction. This is a bad medicine and I only took one dose...
