Is Ativan safe to take?

Is Ativan safe to take with a heart condition? I do not have any known heart problems but I have been having pain, tightness, tingling in my chest, left arm and sternum. I have also been feeling "flutters". I am hypothyroid with hashimoto's thyroiditis and I don't know if the flutters are thyroid related or not. Drs have run tests to rule out gallbladder, ulcer, hiatal hernia...they don't know what's causing the pain.

Could it be stress related? It just doesn't go away...I have ativan...is it safe to take? I had an EKG in Sept and it was fine. I'm a 29 year old female, occassional smoker, don't drink and am moderately active. I had a baby 1 year ago and I am working on losing some of the baby weight. I am slightly overweight.

Thank you for any thoughts that you might have!

Thank you for your reply! I took it last night and didn't see a huge improvement...but maybe it is stress.

What are your symptoms? What tests have you had done?
