O.K. been here before several times but having a BAD day and desperately need a friend to listen. I have suffered from anxiety/some depression for over 20 yrs., on Zanex 0.5 mg 2 x day if needed. Well, I began having night sweats over a year ago, not sleeping well at all, was put on some compounded stuff, helped some but not much. Then I was still having dizziness, tired (from lack of sleep, and just felt rotten and of course I ALWAYS worry about my heart. She put me on a 2 week heart monitor which showed during the night especially my heart rate was upwards to 133 bpm..during day would be 50-80 generally. She put me on verapamil sr and kept upping the dosage until I was having side effects, felt worse then before so she put me on diltiazem 240 mg...that was 1 1/2 weeks ago..well still having some night sweats but I am worse when I HAVE to do something..like this a.m. I took off work to watch grandchildren while parents attended a funeral and I was so uptight about it !!! Is that pathetic or what ? But I get that way going to church, knowing I HAVE to do something out of my home. I work full time and FORCE myself to get up and get here each day but most days do pretty well..Last week I made an appt. with a female cardiologist that comes to an area hospital from another city just because I want to know if there is something else going on with me..My question to any of you wonderful people is this : Can the anxiety/depression cause all this crap that is going on with me ??? I am SO scared.. Thanks for anyone that can help me out just by talking to me ...God Bless.
