Just upped lexapro (escitalopram) dose to 10mg, and started hydroxyzine 50mg 3x a day for anxiety/sleep. can these together cause heart problems? i'm worried with qt

Maybe: Maybe they do but QT syndrome is very rare and present most frequently on older people. But all medications have side effects. And even like water and oxygen could be toxic in excessive amount.Good Luck.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
