Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I've been feeling like my heart isn't beating regularly. It seems to beat a little stronger and faster than usual, and it feels a bit fluttery, but not overwhelmingly so, and there's no pain. I recently started taking some new medications - quetiapine, buspirone, and escitalopram - and I'm not sure if they're causing this. I just started the buspirone and escitalopram, and I take them all at different times of the day.
