Dear Vickers, I read your post over and over again, your posts always seem to give me such comfort and hope. My palps seem to happen more at rest, which you say is a good sign, sometimes {not always} when I walk a long time and its hot with my son and dog, I will get chest pains on exercise, this scares me, my nurse said perhaps "angina" so now I try to walk slower, I smoked too much yesterday and I regret it today, pain, shortness of breath. Thanks for telling me the palps are normal, I do not know where the heck this "heart anxiety" came from, out of the blue, is it possible to have panic and anxiety and all of a sudden get a new symptom? my Father had congestive heart failure and I so worry that is my fate, the stopping of the Zoloft, the period and weaning smoking, caused me some sort of meltdown, I wish I could just reach in my body and pull this fear and worry out and throw it in "God's garbage can" so to speak, I petrified to start the Paxil with the Klonopin I am taking, I am so afraid I will overdose or it will have an adverse fatal attack on my heart? Does that not sound silly? I so wanted to see that Doctor Friday, I am still reeling from that, I cannot believe they refused to see me, that has really sent me into a depression along with the anxiety. I hope you are doing well, I hope the problem with the bleeding has subsided, I am going through that now, day two, trying to ignore and not dwell on it, I want to smoke so bad, I have one when the craving is severe. Hope to talk to you soon, I am praying this will pass and I can function again, its so scary to meltdown and relapse again, I fear I will never get well again. You have been wonderful to me VIckers, as everyone on this site. God bless, Debbie.
