hello
Well I went to the doctor today about my heart palpitations,flutterings,skippings,irreg ular rythm etc...
I talked about having another holter monitor test done and because I was worried that all this has to do with the fainting spells I have had in the past.
She doesnt think I need another one and gave me Ativan to take on a as needed basis.Then of course go back later see how its going.
I hope this is the right thing to do .I wont even take the Ativan unless it gets pretty bad I have never liked taking meds because the anxti anxiety meds always make me tired.I guess I should just except that it is really all due to anxiety and stress and not let it get me worked up.




thanks for all who have responded to my anxiety filled posts

Hey there - It sounds like you've got it together. Just a word of advice, which you likely know already - take the Ativan only as needed - it is very addictive and you can build up a tolerance and a dependency easily on it. I take it once in a while to get my sleep patterns normalized.
