Hello,
I am a new member. About ten years ago, I suffered from physical symptoms of anxiety but eventually it went away on its own. However, I have suffered with the mental aspect of anxiety most of my adult life. About 4 months ago the physical symptoms have returned along with panic attacks. I have been having a lot of health anxiety ever since, especially regarding my heart.
My resting HR is very high and I often get "skipped beats" as well as other physical symptoms. I went to the cardiologist who wanted to put me on beta blockers to bring the HR down, but I already have low blood pressure, so I was kind of concerned about that.
At this point, I am leaning towards starting some type of anxiety medication to hopefully calm me down and bring my HR down. I am wondering if anyone who has experienced similar symptoms (high hr, skipped beats) can share any ANXIETY medications that helped bring their hr down? Looking for positive stories only, please
Thank you!!
