I tend to go along with the stress and anxiety happening. After my heart attack back in 1990, I started to have panic attacks. For my first year and a half, every time I would get chest pressure or pain my husband would race me to the ER. When I went back to my teaching after taking a semester off, I was getting the pain attacks when I was teaching My dr. put me on Ativan to calm me. I had to switch drs. when she moved from the area. My new PCP and another doctor tried different meds to find one that would help me the most so I could function better and finally came up with giving me a low dose of Prozac. That what helped me the most and I'm still on it. I am able to handle things so much better except if a new medical problem arises. Once the dr has explained everything to me and I know what to exactly accept, I can move on from there. Right now I am going through some parathyroid problems and had to get some testing done. I have the results but I need to contact an endo surgeron about what the next step is. I have contacted my cardiologist about this and I need to hear back from her. I might not need to have surgery at this time.

Could be angina. Make an appointment with your cardiologist. Your meds might need tweaking.

Mitch I don't know where this comment came from. Don't know who you are talking about. Sorry

no he was my best friend for over 40 years lived with me when i was dating went through me and my e was god father to my kids after his brother died from a car accident it was like i became his brother and best friend for me other way around i mean his favorite music was soft rock the bands i was in ranged from hard rock to punk to goth but we bowled together lord knows we over drank together and when he found out i was stopping he stopped the same day to give me support so yes was great friend in every way his sister and family not so much we were at one point but then his family turned on him or him on them never figured out which he never trusted many people because for one year we didn't talk he was about to get married and his best man left with his gf while he was inside the church but shit happens. as for you very happy with your choice and wish you the best either way it goes though it will help you . good luck my friend

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend Mitch. It sounds like his passing was hard for you. I took your advice and talked to my cardiologist. I have an appointment on next Tuesday. I honestly don't think that this is caused by anxiety...
