Arrhythmia : You can have an irregular heart beat or arrhythmia due to many causes. It is unlikely that such a low dose of escitalopram will cause it but your arrhythmia can worsen at any time.

Please seek advise.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Premature beats: Are you sure you only get irregular beats when you're lying down or is it that you're unaware of them when you're active? Wearing an ambulatory(holter) monitor for 24 hours would give you precise information about your heart rhythm. Avoid caffeine, nicotine, chocolate and alcohol if you're having frequent premature beats which make you feel like the heart is skipping. Check for an overactive thyroid.

Question 10

do i have an abnormal heart rhythm? i have been having irregular heart beats, whenever i stand up my heartbeat fastens. is my heart normal?

Accepted Answer

It : It is normal for the heart rate to speed up some when you stand up, particularly if you stand up quickly. If the increase in rate is dramatic, this might indicate that you are dehydrated or perhaps have another medical condition. When you stand up, the cardiovascular system must compensate against gravity to maintain adequate blood flow to the brain. This is partially achieved by increasing the heart rate. When you are dehydrated, there is less total blood volume in your blood vessels so your heart has to pump even more quickly and so you might be more aware of you rapid heart rate then. Try increasing your fluid intake, but if the symptom persists go ahead and see your doctor.
