General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I think you should consult a psychiatrist or neuropsychiatric. I don't believe it to be related to heart issues. She should consult psychiatrist about the antidepressants she is taking.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
