April, since today is Wednesday, did you have your group lunch meeting today? How did it go? Hope you're making progress....
April, good to hear from you. The moving or other priorities can always produce stress, but hopefully it's reasonable and bearable. Hopefully your group therapy is also helping to put things in...
April, just thinking about you and wondering how you're doing?...
I had the same symptoms. Went to a doctor, they told me everything was OK. (1989) Went back, sent me though tests, ECHO, EKG, stress test, etc. said I had mitral valve prolapse. Put me on medication....
I've received some very good input from this forum, and I appreciate it. Another few questions. I have a biopsy scheduled for Tuesday July 7th. How long should I expect it to take to obtain the...
I have also found significant help from books. What is the title of the book you're reading? One of the recent ones I've read is "Loving What Is" by Byron Katie. Another favorite that I've read...
After my first panic attack, I started noticing the same thing with my heart. Skipping beats, fluttering, etc. Went to a Doctor, then a cardiologist, went through stress tests, EKG, ECHO, upper GI...
April, hang in there. I think it's great that you'rre working with a therapist and that you're part of a group. My attacks were very similar in that you could never predict when they would hit....
April, I'm back today, just checking in. Anything good happen today? Frances is so right on with the comment that it's not an easy journey. I'm still on it, but with the help of some meds that work...
April, glad to see you are doing the group thing. I think you will find this very rewarding. Still, as you note, this is a day by day thing. Look forward to the good things, hang in there, and keep...
Well thanks again for all the help and support. This is a great forum, although I'm still hopeful that I will not be joining the club. Saw my Doctor today and we agreed to just go ahead with a...
Went through the very same thing. Very big concern on my part not knowing what was going on - Was it physical? Was I having a nervous breakdown? Was I ever going to have the heart attack? Told my...
April, please know that you are not alone. Everyone here is hopeful that things turn out well for you. I've experienced similar problems in the past and would suggest looking for positive things to...
Hang in there. I've been on Lexapo for years and it's worked well for me, however all of us are different. I would suggest calling your doctor to see what advice they can provide. That's what they...
I went through the same thing for the first month or two when switching meds. Hang in there. Also, keep a journal of the good days and bad days so when you visit with your doctor you can provide very...
Hang in there. We are all out here and pulling for you. Please share the truth about what you're going through with your doctor. That's the best way to have them give you the best advice. God Bless!...

Male, age 52, taking 20 mg Lexapro for panic attacks. This drug is really helping me, been on it about 3 years. Recently received word from my urologist that my PSA (prostate cancer screening) test...
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to respond. This is a great forum, and while I hope not to have too much in common with each of you, should I find bad news, this is where I will turn first....
Thanks for the responses. I'm somehow convinced that having PC would be the end of the world, even though I've learned from many posts on this forum that you guys have made it and are continuing to...
