I just wanted to let everyone know that if anxiety plays a big part while you heart acts up you should try going on anti-depressants....i've been on 10mg of paxilPaxil Paxil cr for a month and when my heart goes all funky it doesn't really seem to matter....i stay calm...i can't get all worked up....and it's so odd cause i get random tachy episodes..whereas my heart races up to 120bpm while doing nothing...and i can't get all worked up....like before i was on paxilPaxil Paxil cr when my heart sped i would throw myself in a panicPanic disorder Panic disorder with agoraphobia attack...now i just can't....it really makes you calm...
just wanted to let you know if you needed something for your anxiety you should consider a low dose of anti-depressants til your heart settles.... :)
But your heart is still going tachy and you seem to be livingAdvanced care directives through it with no serious effects. That's good. I hope in time you can capture that calmness, that surety that your tachy times are not life threatening and you'll be able to faceFace pain them minus the medication. I don't know if a person can be on those meds life long. It would be wonderful to be free of that.
I'm glad you're feeling better now.
