yes..two doctors commented on iy and robert commented on it.that is why i think it is all the constant anxiety.

I am sorry....Any talk about meds to lower your heart rate?

((((HUGS))))

is there medication?
Beta-blockers - can be used to slow down your heart rate, and improve blood flow through your body. You may take this drug if you have been diagnosed with irregular heartbeats, or high blood pressure. Some examples of this medication may include: Metoprolol (Lopressor®), propanolol (Inderal®), and atenolol (Tenormin®).

If i remember right digoxin slows down your heart rate and strengthens contractions.

I am furious. I think I will call my heart doctor for an appt. My previous doctor did do an ekg and it was normal. I don't know what to do.

Calling the heart Doc makes sense. I hope you get appropriate care.

i just bought some herbs and coq10

I just took with two machines and it was95

My heart rate is high, too. Anxiety can definitely do it. 60-100 beats per minute is normal, but a little outside that range is usually not serious.
It doesn't always need treatment, so I don't want you to get too upset, especially since your EKG AND stress test were normal, but...

I agree with Mari. It couldn't hurt to call your doctor to address this concern. He/she can explain why you aren't on meds for it :hug::hug::hug:

I will ask the cardiologist in nov. The adorable rabbi is coming over this afternoon. I think I will try to take a nap after I drink my coffee.
as i wrote my prior doctor just did an ekg because of it and found nothing abnormal. it is also hard to reach my doctor and she works only three times a week.

the visit with the rabbi went great even though I was depressed. He stayed an hour. He said a prayer for me and my cats and suri

:heartthrob:

Good to hear that the rabbi's visit went well.
I hope you have better days.

I woke up so depressed. I had such a nice time with the rabbi but we discussed all the things that were getting me anxious. It was a plateful. I was so depressed before he came. I see the psychiatrist this morning. I will ask for more risperdal and more antidepressant..I have sort of given up on losing weight. I think I have sort of given up. the rabbi really touched me and i feel like crying. My therapis does nothing except occasionally makes me angry.

I'm glad that the visit with the Rabbi went so well. He sounds lovely. It was so nice of him to pray for you, Suri, and the kitties :hug:

I hope that the appointment with your pdoc goes well, and he gives you the meds that you want and feel like you need right now. You struggle so mightily with depression, and your current drug regiment is obviously not working. Maybe you need to put your foot down and really advocate for yourself better :hug::hug::hug:

I'm sorry that your therapist makes you angry sometimes:hug::hug::hug:
I have had issues with therapists. Sometimes it meant I needed a new one, and other times I've just had difficulty when we talked about things, and I had to go home and struggle with the issues on my own between appointments. I don't go anymore.

this rabbi hears me and the therapist is in her own world. she loves animals so she can't be all bad

he upped my risperdal to 2 m a day

last night all i could think about was death. i don't know if i had another mini stroke last week or not. i recovered. maybe the big one is on the way.
abby was so friendly today on her birthday

Bobby,

'Happy that you have a good rabbi.
Do you feel that the therapist is helpful enough to keep seeing her?
'Seems that you are o.k. with her for now.



M

I don't know. today i told her how wonderful the rabbi was and she asked for examples and I gave her some like humility and that he almost got me to cry and I haven't cried for over 20 years. I wonder what she thought. I told her he asked me the right questions. I am wondering if I can steer her.

That sounds good I think. Steering her is worth a try.

I will ask her things about what she thinks about the soul and about people without humility and how to deal with them and think of more questions along those lines. I think it is a waste to ask me repeatedly if i have gone out. we talk too much about the animals.

Did you ever mention the potential mini stroke to your new PCP? I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope that you don't have another stroke coming :hug::hug::hug:

But I'm hopeful that because you got better so quickly that you didn't have a mini-stroke, and it was something less nefarious that triggered your symptoms :hug::hug::hug:

I think it's great that the new Rabbi has given you better idea of what you need for support, and I hope that you are successful in redirecting your therapist so that you can get more out of your sessions.

In some ways its to bad the Rabbi and therapist can't sit down with
you together for the therapist to get an idea of the kind of talking
you need. That might do the most good.

No way of really knowing though.

Sending some hugs.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

The Rabbi really listens and asks great questions. He is so receptive. I don't think my therapist is except for my animals..I also think we are on different levels. My stroke has interfered with one type of intelligence but it hasn't interfered with my analytical abilities. they are just as strong.she is strong in the other type of abilities the more concrete abilities.

Therapists are hard to find.

If you have one that is more helpful than not, that person is worth
keeping around. . . . Unless/Until things change fo course.

Just My Opinion

M

I am so isolated and at least she appreciates abby. she is an extrovert and iam an introvert

I found a supplement Solaray Heart Blend that supposedly slows down heart beat. I bought two

I hope it helps you.

It's homeopathic.



M

i don't know why they say that when there are herbs. i guess it is a mixture

I am anxious about the lease not coming. It is almost the end of June, they change the law june 26. I have terrible trust issues..all my life I have had them. If they send me a lease now they will have to redo it and send it again. I am trying not to be anxious. I am also anxious about hearing from the doctor and the blood tests.

It can be distressing to wait.

Trust that God helps with the waiting.

You will have what you need.



Good luck with the blood test results.


M

I hope that you hear about your blood tests soon, and the results are good :hug::hug::hug:

Have you tried to contact your landlord about the lease renewal? Knowing what is going on would probably really help your anxiety :hug::hug::hug:

I called a couple of times but they didn't return my call. I saw the manager and he said in a couple of weeks..that was three weeks ago

I just called the manager of the building. He was very friendly. He said he will find out what is happening and call me back. My heart is pounding

he just called me. I am getting the lease in a couple of days certified mail.

Good news, Bobby.

I am happy to know that you will have your lease.




M

i think they made a mistake and lost track of when to renew my lease

That's great news, Bobby! I hope that you feel better knowing that the lease renewal is coming soon :)

I am so depressed. I just feel eating ice cream., I am so out of control. I got about two hours of sleep

I am confused. I ran into the manager and still haven't gotten my lease > had told him in the past I had gotten two leases because the rent changed June 26. He said I shouldn't have. the former managers were wrong. I am losing it.
darn the stroke. most of the time I can think straight but when I feel pressure I get confused often times and feel helpless.
also once i found out they were sending me the lease my pulse rate went down.
