Could this be related to MVP??

I am a 32 year old mother of three. I was diagnosed with MVP when i was 14. I was on inderal for years. About a year ago my doctor took me off the medication because he said i had 3 normal EKG's. That i just ran a rapid heart rate. Since I have been off my medication i have noticed that what my family thinks is Panic Attacks/Anxiety. I have been through alot in the past years and always am stressing about something. I want to stay home all the time because of how i feel when i go out. I get shaky at just the thought of leaving the house. Although, I still have to go out. When i leave i will start to feel shaky, and the further i go away from my house the worse it will come on. I will go into a store, and i will began to feel real shaky, my face will get hott, and my eyes will feel funny. They get like twitchy or something, its hard to explain. Like i cant see clearly. I will " hurry" and pay...i feel like i have to get out of the store asap. I feel like people are staring at me, when this happens. I am afraid that i am going to pass out, because i get so lightheaded, but i havent. I just hurry out the store, and rush home. I do wake up in the mornings shaky, sometimes at the thought that i have to leave. I have been grouchy at home, and when im home my eyes feel tired. I make excuses not to even leave home, but with small kids i have too. I know when i was on this medication, i never felt this way. I do have asthma also. This is affecting my life. Has anyone experienced this??

I had this same problem sounds like classic panic disorder, I went to see a psychiatrist 2 years ago. I'm on lexapro 5mg daily and clonazepam 0.5mg twice daliy if needed it has helped me tremendously and given me back a quality of life I was missing. Good luck.

You actually felt this way that i was describing? Its bad, i feel like crap at home. I am to the point that i just cant go anywhere. Have you heard of someone getting the eye thing? I am even finding myself shaky at home most of the time also, but nothing like when i go out somewhere. I want to go to the doctor but dont know how i will react being away from the house!!

Symptoms  I had almost identical to yours, It is not a sign of weakness, get to the doctor and get help you'll be glad you did.

I am planning on going to the doctor. At home its like i am amped, but my eyes are tired. Untill i have to go out...then i get really nervous, and i dont want to stay long when i go. I am burnt out of this feeling already, i just want to get calmed down.

It sounds as if you are having panic attacks, but it could also be triggered by a cardiac arrhythmia. If you feel palpitations during the event, or at other times, then you may benefit from an event monitor which can be used to look at your heart rhythm during these events.
