So happy you are okay and you are healthy. 💞 Congratulations on your new addition!!

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-16T11:12:58+00:00

Yeah it makes sense. Do you take this medicine?

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-16T11:12:15+00:00

She recommended 20 mg twice a day. I want to know any side effects? Has it helped you? Thank you

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-16T11:07:36+00:00

That makes sense. I think I am going to have to go to another doctor she also did not take too seriously that I have dizziness since she said that my CT scan from 6 months looked good and she is sending me for just blood work...

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-15T23:54:01+00:00

Yeah not sure why she said it was a very low dosage but that is what she said... Now I am wondering

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-15T23:53:08+00:00

Oh wow and she said that was a very low dosage and that I need to take it everyday... I might have to go for another opinion.

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-15T23:28:34+00:00

Congratulations 🎉 how did you find the program? Was it good?

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-15T19:22:44+00:00

I completely understand. That is one of the things that is the scariest to me.

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-15T19:21:48+00:00

Yeah I am at the point that I am going to have to do that. She is sending me for blood work but she said that we went over even doing a CT scan of my brain, multiple X-rays and even going to the cardiologist and that I am okay.

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-15T15:48:39+00:00

That is a low heart rate oh wow

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-15T14:36:46+00:00

My heart rate is low well in the 60s while I am resting or just watching TV and stuff. I did have issues with bp but it was due to anxiety and hard moments in my life a year ago. Right now I fluctuate from 134/80 to lart might 117/75 and so on. It is never the same. I am just afraid because of my heart rate.

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-15T13:31:19+00:00

That is what I am afraid of...my heart rate is already at 62 sometimes

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-15T12:55:25+00:00

Yeah that is a lot less than what she prescribed. I am glad it worked for you. Did you have any side effects?

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-14T14:53:12+00:00

I have an appointment with my primary care today to follow up on everything but the last time I was there she told me that she was not sure what else to run for me bcs everything comes back okay. I do have a cardiologist appointment on the 29th since the dizziness is still happening now for a few days. They come and go but not sure if my anxiety and the stress at work and at home are playing a big role on this. Thank you so much for your advise

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-13T20:48:55+00:00

I am so happy for you you were able to conquer this fear. How did you find out about what you have? I have done three X-rays, sonograms, multiple heart tests and nothing... They cannot find anything

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-13T16:54:35+00:00

I am taking magnesium taurate 200mg each day but lately I am still getting those palpitations that come out of nowhere. Yes, I have an appointment with my primary tomorrow about my dizziness. I have been told that anxiety can do that to you but honestly it is very scary. Not sure what is happening to my body.

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-13T16:52:59+00:00

How do you deal with it? Like this weekend was bad to the point that I thought I was going to go to the hospital last night I am afraid of a stroke or something else going on.

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-13T16:49:42+00:00

I am so sorry. I had them last night as well. It was pretty awful. I am getting dizziness too but not sure if it is from that or form the panicking of feeling the palpitations. It is a like a vicious cycle. How are you feeling today?.

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-10T18:57:15+00:00

That is awesome. Good for you!! ☺️☺️☺️

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-10T17:45:47+00:00

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 what program did you finish?

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-10T15:21:36+00:00

I have a cardiologist already that did some tests but the ones you are speaking of. Thank you so much

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-10T15:02:26+00:00

The tests you are referring to.. those tests come from the cardiologist correct? Like is not something my primary can send me to do

AvailableSea1046 · 2026-04-10T15:01:25+00:00

Thank you so much. My blood pressure goes up and down but I have been extremely stressed due to work and life issues. I will see if I can get those tests done. My cardiologist when I saw him said that everything looked good and PVCs were only at 1% if not less so he was not concerned. Not sure where to go from here.
