Does the medication Venlafaxine cause increased heart rate?
Hi, I am on a very high dose of venlafaxine daily. It is known to increase heart rate and usually people who are on it really should have their bp checked every so often. I do not find I notice an increase in heart rate really but I do get out of breath quicker, however i am not exactly fit at the moment anyway so that too could cause that for me. If you are worried talk to your GP and have them check your BP. I wouldnt advise googling venlafaxine or looking at other people’s comments because it can just make you worry more when when they have said may never apply to you anyway.
