Can Lexapro cause cardiovascular diseases?

Issue
Hello, I started using Lexapro 5 days ago and recently, I started feeling something like heartburn. Can antidepressants cause any harm to your heart or any organ in the body?

Best Tip

It would be very unlikely that Lexapro would cause a true cardiac side effect... what you are experiencing is very possibly anxiety which commonly yields a complaints of "chest pain" or "tightness of the chest" or "hard to breath" or "heartburn" from patients who suffer occasional "panic attacks."I've had them myself and I required antianxiety medications to overcome the problem.

Lexapro is my current and only medication for almost a year now... I'm very satisfied with it after trying a variety of others. I have no side effects from it at all and I am currently not having any feelings of anxiety that yield "panic attack" symptoms.

Good luck in your treatment... and please stay with it. Believe me, it will all get better and better and better in due time - and I do mean LOADS BETTER.

I don't know but tell your doctor right away. They could clear things up.
You can research it on the web - but as for heartburn. Heartburn has nothing to do with the heart, it is merely acid reflux - washing up into the esophagus. Take some tums or mylanta. Don't leave it untreated, it can eventually do some throat damage.
