Can Lexapro cause cardiovascular diseases?

Question:

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?

Answers:
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.
