Specializes in Psychiatry

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. When starting a psychiatric treatment, it is best to request an EKG and full blood work to rule out medical causes of psychiatric illness like thyroid disease, which can also cause arrhythmia. Please seek advise.
