I don't want to keep explaining my history, so here's the deal: serious health anxiety, especially when it comes to my heart. I've thought I was having a heart attack too many times to count even though I'm a moderately healthy, 25 year old female. Yesterday I had a slightly abnormal EKG. PCP didn't seem too worried about it, but referred me to a cardiologist for further testing. Her exact words were "Your results were pretty unremarkable." but yet that slight abnormality is totally throwing me in to a frenzy. Even though it's probably nothing to be worried about, not knowing exactly what it is and what's causing it is driving me up the wall, and probably will continue to do so until I can see the cardiologist next week.
I also went to a psychiatrist for the first time yesterday. He prescribed Lexapro for long term help, and Klonopin in the short term so I can get some sleep. Anyone have any experience with these medications? Thoughts?
