Understanding your concern. As per your query you have heart palpitations after taking Citalopram and Liothyronine 5 mg. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case the symptoms are due to Citalopram and Liothyronine as their side effects . Both Citalopram and Liothyronine has potential to cause irregular heat beat and chest discomfort as side effects . I would suggest you to consult your doctor , who prescribed them and discuss the condition . Doctor may alter the dose or prescribe substitute . Doctor will also rule out other causes like heart arrhythmias . For now avoid bending forward and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain , eat light and non spicy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
