Worried about Lexapro's effect on the heart

I have just been prescribed Lexapro for anxiety. I am concerned because I have been suffering with heart palpitations all my life and I've read one of the symptoms of Lexapro withdrawal  are heart palpitations. I have only taken the medication for 2 days and have noticed I exprienced no heart palpitations thus far (although I did have a panic attack).  I am worried and fretting about whether I should take my dose  tommorrow.

Stick with it...sometimes anxiety can worsen slightly as your body adjusts to the new medication.  This is completely normal, so I would recommend taking your dose tomorrow.  At least give it a chance to work - usually 2-4 weeks.  Good luck!!
