Has anyone experienced racing heart with citalopram?

This is interesting as I've been taking citalopram 20mg and pregabolin 100mg for six months but recently have had fluttering under my left breast. When I told the gp they told me to stop the pregabolin and increase citalopram to 40mg and take beta blockers in place of pregabolin but I suffer low blood pressure not sure latter is fine. However i have done a search and there are warnings of citalopram on the heart I suspect its more likely to be them. I think you need to speak to your gp.

I just went off of citalopram due to palpitations on my heart. I feel much better now and it did increase my anxiety. I was on it for about 7 months

Hi, yes I have had palpitations since taking Citalopram, also breathlessness, and headaches .I was advised by a locum to cut down to 10mg and see my own doctor and get taken off of them . My own doctor says he didn't think
It was the Citalopram , (which I think is rubbish , )and gave me beta blockers . I am now weaning myself off of them and have an appointment to see a different doctor . I hope you get your problem sorted out . If you haven't already ,I would advise you to see your doctor . Any side effects should have gone by now , and I'm sure from experience , that the racing heart will not go . Good luck .

MS CHERYL; YES ALL YOU HAVE SAID IN YOUR POST ARE LISTED AS SIDE EFFECTS, AND IT HAS BEEN A MONTH OR SO. I WOULD GIVE THE DOCTOR A CALL THE NORMAL SIDE EFFECTS OF AN INCREASE OR JUST STARTING ONLY LAST ABOUT 2 WEEKS. THE FAST HEARTBEAT IS VERY RARE WHICH MAKES ME THINK IT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE PLEASE CALL THE DOCTOR. AND LET HIM OR HER KNOW.
