[|Human|] Hi, I am on Citalopram (altho slowly reducing the dose in view of weaning off them) and Lipitor 40mg for elevated cholesterol. I am experiencing frequent palpitations throughout the day,sometimes for a couple of hours at a time. Is this a serious side effect or should I try and put up with it ? Do all palpitations lead to a cardiac incident ?
[|AI|]  Hi dear. Palpitations are a cardiac symptom. So I will advise you to kindly not ignore it. Visit your doctor and get an ECG done. It will help us to confirm if you require any more tests or not. Meanwhile reduce your salt intake . And eat a lot of fibers. Since you have experiencing palpitations more often I will advise you for a cardiac evaluation. Hope my answer helped you. Please do rate my answer.
