Heart Disease and Depression
by Sam888, Oct 11, 2007 03:34AM
What is the relationship between the two? I read something briefly about a "Heart Link Monitor" that when worn over 24 hours can diagnose if one is depressed? Is this fact or is the information still equivocal? I have a heart rate of over 105 bpm when just sitting down and one physician suggested that I suffer from depression. While a psychiatrist said I do not. I do have problems sleeping, I have sleep apnea.

I had to wear one of those because I had fast heart beat, but it was only to see if it was abnormal. Then I had a echo and everything came out fine.
It seems like my anxiety is a big factor but my doctor hasn't diagnose anything yet.
After ruling out any physical condition, you might consider seeing a different psychiatrist.
