Suggest Treatment For General Anxiety In A Person With A Heart Condition

I have heart failure with Pef. I am also anxiety prone. I was on Citalipram which was very effective but my EKG showed elongated Qt so I was taken off the Citalipram. I am experiencing terrible anxiety and am wondering if there is any SSRI, or another antianxiety drug, that can be taken safely while on Flecainide?

Hello,

Consult a psychiatrist and get evaluated.

He might require drugs like clonazepam for best results.

Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
