Palpitations

[Saz12345]

These palpitations are Scarey anyone else have them doctor say I have anxiety but I don't believe him he not even put me on medication I have had this for awhile now

I think you should consider believing him... This is a fairly common symptom...and I am sorry you are going through this... I know its scary... maybe try discussing this with your doctor as to the different things you might try...ok?? Good luck.

Thanks for replying Betty are you on any medication I told my doctor about it they said it all to do with is but the pains I get in my chest are horrible to he put me on medication but am scared to take it x

[BettyA in reply to Saz12345]

I answered down below to another post of yours... I have been taking 15mg of Mirtazapine per day (right before bedtime) Been on it now for not quite a month. No side effects except for just feeling 'weird' which I know is due to the ANXIETY and not the medication. The only other drug I take (occasionally) is .5 Ativan (Lorazapam) when it takes me over 2 hrs to get to sleep... Please try what the dr gave you. You WILL be ok but don't let your Imagination run away with you... (I know what that is like! ) I have NEVER EVER heard of anyone with an adverse reaction to Propanalol. Good luck, Saz!!

I am suffering the same right now, and the doctors told me I was fine went to 4 doctors. They put me on medication. I think is all part of it.

Thanks for the reply they put me on medication today but I am scared of taking tablets that's the problem aswell so the anxiety starts again what have they put you on

[Notwant2 in reply to Saz12345]

They put me on xanax and zoloft. Only took the xanax since they just gave me the zoloft today and the doctor recommended it me that one only to sleep, I was also scared because I thought I will have a reaction to it but I feel pretty normal. Still have anxiety but they told me it take around a week or so to start working.

[Saz12345 in reply to Notwant2]

That's what I am like am so scared to take it they have put me on propranolol one 3x a day but am scared to start it they symptoms I get are horrible

[BettyA in reply to Saz12345]

I understand that Propranolol is one of the 'better' and more effective drugs to take...with much success and few side effects (if any!) You should probably give it a try! You WILL be ok... Honest!!

Thanks Betty x

I take prononalol 3 times a day too its to only calm your heart dwn really in my opinion it doesn't do much

[Saz12345 in reply to kscott19]

Did you have any reaction of it X

[BettyA in reply to Saz12345]

saz, have you started the propranolol yet??? I wish I could recommend something that you wouldn't be leary of... but I can't ... Just wanting to reassure you you WILL be ok...but you have got to calm down... wish you were here with me, I'd take you for a cup of coffee (and maybe a donut! ) and we would talk! Take care.

[Saz12345 in reply to BettyA]

I Betty you have really helped me through this I still feel dizzy I constantly thinking about my health my heart 24/7 you have been brilliant I think I will starte to take the tablets xx

[BettyA in reply to Saz12345]

YAY!!!!!!

Proud of you!! I am sure it will be ok, also, it might help if you would take some homeopathics from time to time...like Calms (by Hyland's) Bach's Rescue Remedy, or Sedalia (Boiron)... They certainly will not hurt you! What helps me most is Argentum Nitricum (Boiron)...especially in the mornings... not miracle workers, but help to take the edge off.

[Saz12345 in reply to BettyA]

Thankyou Betty would like to stay in contact with you when j need a chat if that's okay I am gonna take a tablet before bed see if that helps Xx

[BettyA in reply to Saz12345]

I would like that, too... Please know that you may have to be on these for a number of days... I really feel they will help you. Big hug to you.

Hi Saz,

kscott 19 is right when he says its used to normalize your heart... Two people that I know that suffered from scary palpitations were put on this drug and they said "it helped their anxiety." ... Well--!! It probably DID because if the palpitations were the cause of them getting all scared and anxious...its no WONDER it helped their anxiety. THANK YOU, kscott for your post!
