Can long term use of Azithromycin cause AFib or is it caused due to stress as Doctor told me? I often take Azithromycin tablets maybe once every 3 days or so or once every week.

First thing to identify here is as to WHY you feel the need to take Azithromycin every 3 days. Sounds like an addiction to drug which with a drug like Azithromycin is quite rare.
