    Citalopram lowering my resting heart rate

    Hi everyone,

    I’m suffering from bad health anxiety and I’m constantly worried about my heart. GP give me Citalopram for my anxiety which is getting rid of panic attacks now I’m 4 weeks in but then I found out about how Citalopram can mess with your heart.... anyway my normal RHR is 60bpm but it’s dropped to 50bpm so it’s got me worried about long qt syndrome.

    I’m a slim built 22yo male but quite unhealthy and unfit, should I be worried? Seeing doctor next week and I’m going to ask for an ECG. Has anyone else been through the same thing?

    Thanks

    I had the same thing when i was on lexepro and celexa, but it was periodically. It was usually when i was super calm!

    Take a look through the Citalopram sub-forum. I'm sure you'll find something there.
