I haven't been tested but my docs say it's obvious I'm in cortisol overdrive- Shaking, tachycardia, high anxiety, chest pain, ect. I have the whole nine yards of BP2, GAD, Panic disorder, most of the other anxiety disorders ect. and the whole childhood super trauma abuse thing. So they drugged me up on more benzos, which I was already on anyway, and am starting Trileptal.
The heart thing scares me- I've been really tachy round the clock and am exhausted and miserable. I used to be an athlete 'till this pdoc ruined my career, and exercise is what I need but with my sudden cardiac overload I really can't get that started safely. Dr Shrink put me on nifedipine, doesn't seem like the best choice, Just had a Holter and echo in July after the last time he almost killed me and was normal.
So does this calm down again? Any thoughts? If my heart were closer to normal I could train it into improvement, I've done it before. Sporting goods are great for anxiety management if you aren't resting at 110 bpm. I wake up in the morning tachy and rattling and I have no more slack for this. There are stressfull external things mounting, and I can't cope with all this.
And what is tianeptine?missliz
