hey guys.. well, since i got the all clear on my holter(i felt skips, recorded skips, but holter said there was nothing irregular yay!!) i havent had any of the heart or chest or breathing symptoms.. now im having the constant feel like i'm gonna pass out feeling. thats it.. i keep getting waves of panic all day where my body gets all cold and numb and passes through me in about 30 seconds.. i feel faint, etc. not really dizzy. just out of it. and i keep having the chills, and just feel all around sick.. does anyone feel like this? i mean, like, off and on ALL day.. ?? and thats it. i am not getting a racing heart, feeling of not breathing, or anything.. i've had these feelings before, in 2002, thats when i got on the paxil and it took that all away for 2 yrs, now i'm on celexa for about 10 weeks, and maybe its not working?? anyway, i'd appreciate some reassurance.. thanks, amanda

you might ask about upping the celexa dose, if working, it should help the same way the paxil did
when off the holter monitor, I think a beta blocker med daily would calm your physical anxiety problems a lot
remember to breathe deep and slow, accept the feelings, dont tense up or fight back against them
gentle exercise andd long walks are very relaxing
beta blocker meds, inderal, etc reduce the physical but not mental problems from anxiety, since they are all out of patent and available as cheap generics, they arent promoted to docs, so docs seldom think of them for their anxiety patients, which is a pity
