I was taking Cymbalta for a couple of months and had a racing pulse taking it, now I find out there was some slight changes to my front chamber of my heart. Is there anybody out there that had changes or heart problems for Cymbalta?

I don't think that Cymbalta would cause the changes in your heart although the racing pulse could theoretically have caused the change in the front chamber of your heart. According to any official reports I know that there are not any heart changes but I am curious to hear if other people feel the same way. Does anyone else have heart changes?

Yes!!! I was in hospital from 1/14/12 to 1/20/12 and needed heart surgery. I had major chest pains for a month and was sent home from hospital several times because they thought it was just muscular. A month later I had Pneumonia and fluid had built around a sac around my heart which required surgery and tubes to drain all the fluid from my heart. I have stopped Cymbalta since. _[removed]_s.edu

I have developed heart failure that I firmly believe was caused by the Cymbalta! I have also found a few cases on the internet where this has happened to other people who previously had no heart problems. I weaned myself off, went to Cleveland Clinic and am now on meds to try to improve my ejection fraction, which was 35 and should be at least 55. I was previously physically active, maybe 10 lbs overweight, no other health problems that would have contributed to heart failure and working full time, traveling and babysitting the grandkids! I am 59. I am convinced that the Cymbalta caused this. The only other med I took was Cozaar for high blood pressure, which was well controlled. Don't take this med.

I started Cymbalta and within 30 days I was admitted into the hospital in the early stages of a heart attack. After the cardiologist stopped me taking the medication I am better. There is also studies in Europe where this has happened to others as well.
