Feedback on Heart PalpitationsIf you have heart palpitations, please help others by sharing your experience. What would you tell someone about heart palpitations? Please remember that we do not give medical advice. That is for your local health care provider, who is familiar with your medical history.Subj: I am scared Date: 2/1/2009 I have ADHD and anxiety. my doc perscribed zoloft half a pill for 7 days. I took the first one 2 nights ago and I had a lot of the symptoms the next day. And I've had heart palpitations before I took the pill and they seem more noticeable with the pill. My parents are telling me to not worry about it but I am scared. plus I have to walk 1.7 miles every day for gym. What should I do? And is there any way I can get rid of the palpitations? Nicole AskDocWeb: Heart palpitations can be a very scary thing to experience. It may help to learn all you can about what is happening so that you can reassure yourself that most of the time there really isn't anything to be concerned about, as long as your doctor knows about the palpitations. Remember that anxiety is a common cause of heart palpitations. Subj: Panic attack heart palpitations Date: 3/10/2009 I have been taking wellbutrin for 1 week 150mg. I was previously on Prozac 20mg but one night I had a Major "panic attack" heart palpitations esp which I had never had before. Now they still continue mild every night at about 1:00 am. Any suggestions? Alicia AskDocWeb: Be sure to keep your doctor informed so that he can make changes in your meds that may be needed. Subj: Having heart palpitations when taking Ibuprofen Date: 4/1/2009 I have used Ibuprofen for years and never had any problems, but the last couple of months I've noticed that my heart starts beating funny within 15 minutes of taking Ibuprofen. I don't use caffine, or other stimulants, and I noticed other people have complained of having heart palpatations when taking Ibuprofen. Maybe someone should check into these complaints. Janet Subj: Supplements? Date: 4/8/2009 I am not taking any medications. I have taken a few food supplements for a few days now, and I had a slight pain in my chest at the left side, and then I increased the dose after about 4 days and then at night if I were lying on my left side I could feel my heart pound in my chest. I was thinking that maybe my blood pressure is too high so I measured it and it was 114/66 and 50 beats/minute, so that wasn't it. Today I didn't take any supplement, and I think it is little better, but I will have to see if it will be all gone in a few days. I am not sure if it is due to the supplement or due to a sport game which I have participated in after a long time of not doing any sports. My supplements were: 5htp, tyrosine, methionine, selenium, lysine, calcium, magnesium, and multivitamins. Do you think that the supplements caused my palpitations? If so do you know if there is a way to fix the palpitations without stopping the supplements? Maybe to increase the dose more? Maybe add some other supplement? Maybe change the ratio between the ingredients? Plapy AskDocWeb: We don't see any problem with the supplements that you are taking. With a heartbeat of 50 beats per minute we would look at the possibility of bradycardia, an abnormal condition in which the heart contracts steadily but at a rate of less than 60 beats a minute. The reduced blood flow may cause faintness, dizziness, and chest pain. There are two common herbs that might cause this, peppermint and black cohosh. Both are known to sometimes cause bradycardia. Subj: Cymbalta Date: 7/10/2009 My Dr. put me on Cymbalta 30 mg. for depression and anxiety. Another Dr. upped the dose to 60mg. at night, mainly for pain purposes, work comp. Dr. The 60mg. made my heart palpatations worse so I dropped my dose back down myself. I haven't seen my Dr. yet to tell her. I am glad I had some lower dose samples on hand. Ruth Subj: Ambien Date: 9/16/2009 I don't see Ambien on the list. It caused heart palpitations when I was taking it. Nancy AskDocWeb: The list is composed of drugs that cause heart palpitations in three percent or more of the people who use them. There are many other drugs that cause heart palpitations at lesser rates and Ambien is one of them. If you find this page useful share it with others.
