On lexapro 20mg depression ,feel my heart pounding,beets r between 60-80, dont wanna take xanex. is this dangerous or i have to do somthing?

Palpitations : 60-80 is well within the normal range for a resting heart rate. The problem is the pounding sensation. It is not likely a cause for alarm, but this type of palpitation can be very disconcerting. Please discuss the pounding sensation with your primary care doctor.
