I don't know where to start. For myself, I've been in anxiety, heart problems, and some other forums. For my husband, it is really crazy this last week. Here goes. He knows he needs a heart cath, or...
Karen, You are so right. Getting past the scary literature that comes with prescription meds is hard for me. Thanks for the encouraging words. Take care, Chele...
Thank you for your kind reply, Sandy. Yeah, there are a lot of things to consider with any new medicine. Hope I'm a lucky one. And a little time for myself is a great idea. Give my best to your...
Hey there, Gigglegirl, I'm no expert, but, what everyone has told you about staying active is true. And, sometimes it helps to know someone is listening and they really care. There are wonderful...
Hello! Went to my family MD this morning. Thought I needed Xanax - turns out antidepressant will be of more help. I'm not sleeping well because of many worries, like everyone else I suppose. This is...
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I have been in anxiety disorders and heart problems for the last month or so. Anyhow. This morning I had something I only had one time, three years ago or so....
To: GN ICT I have been in the wrong forum for awhile. I have more of a heart problem, rather than anxiety. Although anxiety can make things worse, as we all know. Your problems with palps could have...
Hey Kitt, Tried the trivia, it is a challenge at times, but a good thing. Fun to play. Wow, yawn, excuse me. The new dose of atenolol has me dragging today. 25mg am, 25mg pm. Trying to stay active to...
Hey wobe! Sorry about that monitor thing. Sounds like no fun. But, did the results show anything? I mean did it give any clues as to your problems? Hope so. Yes my doc's office said much more than,...
Hi Kitt, I agree about the knowledge is power. I feel much better already since my condition has been given a name. My husband says, "DON'T WORRY about THINGS YOU CANNOT CHANGE", and it makes sense....
Hi Kitt, Well, my EKG showed a definite skipped beat, meaning premature beat. I get that part. I am now supposed to take 25 mg. atenolol in AM and one in PM. They said I will feel tired (nothing new)...
Hi wobe, I know what you are talking about with the scary palpitations. Last night I talked with my cardio office and I am going in for a quick ekg today. They want to see if I have gone into AFIB,...
Oh, Kitt. I'm glad you are listening. I took the extra 1/2 atenolol this morning, like dr. recommended, and I have felt horrible all day. I can't string four beats together without a skip feeling. I...
Hi Kitt, It's Chele again. Talked with my cardiologist's office about my heartbeat problem. They want me to stay on the Atenolol, but add an extra 1/2 dose in the morning. They said I need to get a...
Hi woebegone! It is amazing how your problems with ATENOLOL are similar to mine. I'd like to go off of it and try something new. Going to talk to my cardio doc today. It is a cycle we have to deal...
Dear Kitt, Thank you, thank you, for your kind caring and concern. It is nice to know I am not alone. Perhaps doc and I will come up with an easy sensible solution to my Atenolol problem. Take care....
I have been on ATENOLOL for one month. At first, the tiny 25mg dose at bedtime did the trick. Then, a couple of hours before my time to take it, the flutter in my chest would start. Mr cardio doc...
Hi Kitt, Yes, I have had the upper endoscope (camera down the throat thing) done about four years ago. Doctor said he could see that I had had acid reflux but, no damage was done. Also at that time I...
I just posted about Atenolol. Since this is my first time to post, I'm not sure if I am in the right forum. But, I do feel anxious most of the time (my whole life) and it can interfere with...
/community/emoticons/confused.gif Does anyone know about ATENOLOL? I have had many heart tests the last two weeks for irregular heartbeat. Stress test was good, ecocardiogram was good, ekg was good....
