Rough Morning

I slept very good last night.....no palpitations or insomnia.  Felt great when I woke up as well.  However, I'm having a rough morning now.  Lots of pain in my arms, neck, head, etc.  Little bit of pain in my chest.  Burning sensation in my head and shoulder.  These are all my typical anxiety symptoms, but I haven't experienced some of them for weeks.  My question right now is about my Lexapro.  I didn't get to take it today.  I should have taken it at about 8:00 this morning, but when I went to get it yesterday, my pharmacy said that they were out of it and I would have to come back today.  I'm only a few hours late.....surely that couldn't already have caused me to start having some old symptoms???  I do realize it could be in my head because I'm stressed about not having my medicine today. 

Thanks for listening.  It just feels good to get on here and type out how I am feeling

It is in your head, but it is still real. I, too, have to go pick up my wellbutrin, since they had to order it.

Treat yourself nicely, deep breaths, and remind yourself that the anxiety is not reality.

Yes, there is something very helpful about being able to type out our feelings....

No, I wouldn't imagine that a delay of a few hours is going to cause some type of avalanche effect. The reason I say that is that I also usually take my meds early in the morning, and the other day I actually slept in until almost noon!!

So there was a gap of a few hours that time,...I'm still kickin' (and various other things)....

We do what we can when we can. And we do what we gotta do when we gotta do it. Sometimes those two places don't always line up. But we do our best!

Thanks ladies! I will get to pick my lexapro up on the way home and then I will take it in the morning. I do have something else to take as needed and that's gotten me through today. Feeling okay right now

Cilly, my doc hasn't referred for any heart related tests. However, I did go to the ER a couple of weeks ago because I thought I was having a heart attack. Just a panic attack thankfully. They did an EKG, blook work, and xrays. Said everything look normal. I see my doctor in November so I can look into this further if I need to. I do worry about my heart.....my dad had a heart attach at 55 and my grandfather died after having a heart transplant (this was after having multiple heart attacks over several years). So, my family does have a history of heart issues.
