Hi, Heather. I just wanted to check-in on you. Have you discussed the heart palpitations with your doctor? Sometimes, it's not side effects from a med or missed dose of a med and it's good to always play it safe and check with your doctor when something new arises. Please let us know how you're doing.
Hugs,
Laurie

Heather, since nobody seems to know, I would agree with Laurie. Heart palpitations can be caused by several things. Some can be life threatening. Play it safe and get checked out. Specially if they recur.
