Bad Morning

[Beth1982]

I woke up with a racing heart and can't get it to slow down. I can't take the beta blockers due to low bp. I'm so frustrated. It's Mother's Day weekend and I want to enjoy it with my kids.

Try to take a deep breath and just calm down okay and don't let his ruin your weekend, think positive 

[Beth1982]

I am now crying because I want so bad to be myself again. I just want my life back. I truly can not believe that my heart racing at 7am as soon as I open my eyes is anxiety related and I can't get answers...

How fast is you're heart hun? 

[Twinkle333]

Ahh hun can you get some magnesium from somewhere? It's worth a try that's what I do when I wake up with a fast heart a pop one and within 40 mins or so it slows down

Beth, do you have any antianxiety medicine on hand?

[Beth1982 in reply to Agora1]

I have Ativan for panic attacks as needed. 

[Agora1]

Beth, feeling any better?  What are you taking in place of Lexapro now?  Anything at all?  I am hoping that the morning anxiety (which is the worse for me) will get better as the day goes by now that you are off Lexapro.  I do hope you will enjoy your Mother's Day with your children.  x

Hi, thanks for checking on me. I'm not taking anything in place of the lexapro. I have Ativan for panic attacks (as needed) I have an appointment on Tuesday to see a psychiatrist. This will be my first appointment with a specialist. I'm excited about it. I'm hoping for help that my pcp hasn't or can't offer. 

[Beth1982]

I have cried all day. I just want my heart to be normal and allow me to have a good life. I'm very emotional today. 

[Agora1 in reply to Beth1982]

Beth, it's okay to put aside a day for crying and being emotional.  It does help release the stress. There are other medicines out there to help control the fast heart  rate besides being a beta blocker.  Won't that be nice?   x

[Beth1982 in reply to Agora1]

Yes, it will be! It's been fast on and off all day... I had things planned today but have ended up staying home. I can't wait to have answers and help.
