Scared

So I have two doctor's appointments this morning. One to check out my heart palpitations and a second to determine what I can take for my anxiety becasue I had such bad side effects on zoloft. I am starting to get really scared that the cardio is going to find something that I have not even thought about. I am having finger tingling and not sure if it heart related or just my anxiety kicking in.

I also have the SVT condition and not sure if the heart palpitations that I felt on Zoloft was related to the increased anxiety I felt when starting or an underlying heart condition. I have had only to severe SVT episodes in the past year so not bad there. I just had about every possible side effect on Zoloft. Nausea, decreased appetite, stomach pain, anxiety, headaches. Really nasty stuff for me. I am hoping to try something else that will not give me the side effects.

Yeah meds can elevate symptoms that are worse than what you are trying to "cover up" with your anxiety.

I had tachacardyia symptoms racing heart for a whole day when I took that med. Ugh. I will not take meds again after taking something else for 10 years and now I have major digestive issues after that.
Beware to what you are taking that can cause many long term side effects. Just my experience.
