What Causes Chest Pain After Having Escitalopram?
I have been taken Escitalopram for more than 5 weeks and still seem to be experiencing side effects. I feel small pains in my chest at times, which is concerning. I experienced an intense hot flash in the first week or so of taking medication. I still get minor hot feelings. What should I do about medicine (stop). Are these normal side effects?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Escitalopram is not associated with chest pain in most. It can occur in 0.1% to 1% of persons who use this medication.
If the pain is intolerable then you should consider speaking to your doctor tosee if the medication can be changed.
I hope this helps
