I'm feeling ill at ease all of the time. I've been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and I've become depressed and anxious. Sometimes I have trouble breathing. I don't know if that's due to my heart or anxiety. I work with a psychiatrist who's recently put me on Latuda, but I'm not feeling much relief. I read it takes awhile to kick in.

Hi Sestet, It's true in that Anxiety itself can cause that feeling of shortness of breath.
What does your Cardiologist say? I'm sure you are on heart medication?
I have AF and have done great not only on my medication for it but also do daily
Meditation and Breathing exercises which keeps me in a calm and peaceful state of
mind and body. It is important in making sure we understand that the Mind/Body
Connection is intertwined. By having other methods to control our anxiety can really
allow the meds to work better and in turn making us feel better. xx
Hi Sestet, breathlessness is the first sign of Heart failure. Even I am struggling with breathlessness although i am taking medications. But only few medications suit me.
