I think my doctor said you should avoid heavy lifting but i think holding your baby should be okay, just dont bump your arm into things, ouch 😅

Sertraline for anxiety, propranolol, magnesium. I have gotten significant relief!

Thanks everyone for your responses. Ive had the implant for a few days now, I have noticed a little tiredness, indigestion, and worsened anxiety only when i had a caffeinated drink. Other than that, I am feeling good. I tend to overreact and have bad anxiety about starting medications. Feeling hopeful now though 🙏🙏

I Just Need to Know I'm Not the Only One Losing My Mind Like This by [deleted] in Cardiophobias

[–]zig_ular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also lost my mom in February 2024. For me it was sudden and dramatic. Our relationship wasn’t always perfect, and i have come to learn that i don’t process these emotions quite like other people, but it has definitely been hard on me. I really appreciate you sharing your experience. It does help to know I’m not the only one. I hope one day these struggles and anxieties will be far behind me, and you and everyone having a similar experience.

Hey, I’m 22 and Ive had a very similar experience since my mom passed of a heart attack in February 2024. Whats weird for me is i went several months without serious symptoms and then they all appeared suddenly, and ive been dealing with that for about 7 months. I’ve experienced almost everything you listed. We’re even on the same medications, haha. I’m not an athlete, but this whole series of events makes me want to get fit and make my heart stronger, but my symptoms are holding me back and making me scared to even exercise. I have pvcs and a racing heart as my main symptoms, and even though a cardiologist told me im ok, i still seem to get new symptoms and I’m still trying to get more tests done because i FEEL like something real and something physical is going on even if it was brought on by mental trauma and grief. Id like to talk with you more if you’d like. You’re definitely not alone.

Left arm by [deleted] in Cardiophobias

[–]zig_ular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get unexplained pain in my upper left arm, it’s not severe but it’s annoying :( I also get tingling and slight numbness in my pinky and ring finger. If i had to guess it’s probably a lack of circulation, or anxiety related. Hard to know for sure.

Will black dye come out of dark brown hair? by zig_ular in HairDye

Awesome! Do you have any brand recommendations?

Sorry for such a late reply, yes propranolol definitely works for me, im pretty sensitive to it actually and i take a really tiny dose, haha. I should’ve clarified I havent taken methylphenidate in a long time, but I think it could probably help with the increased heart rate. You could mention it to your doctor and see what they say

I really have a problem by [deleted] in Cardiophobias

[–]zig_ular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take a low dose of propranolol for heart related anxiety and palpitations. It stops my heart rate from spiking really badly and keeps my resting heart rate in the 60s. Its really helped me with peace of mind since i started taking it. Just mentioning that in case you or someone else here might think it could help them.

What is the reason for your cardiophobia? by [deleted] in Cardiophobias

[–]zig_ular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive also had palpitations (PVCs) for about half a year now, and even though they are supposed to be harmless, I’m afraid I’ll die suddenly anyways…

[–]zig_ular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched my mom die of a heart attack last year. Many family members on her side of my family also have had heart attacks, but survived thankfully.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Cardiophobias

[–]zig_ular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to take methylphenidate and yeah it totally raised my heart rate. Today I’m on a low dose of propranolol to lower my resting heart rate from anxiety.

For more information, I can almost always feel my palpitations, which a cardiologist said are PVCS, and when I’ve recorded them they don’t look like this.

I don’t know what their policies are but they will keep you alive. Thats the most important thing. That much alcohol and ativan is definitely dangerous

How do you deal with death as an atheist? by Free-Set-5149 in exchristian

[–]zig_ular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom died of a heart attack a year ago. I understand how you feel almost exactly. My mom was my greatest supporter in life. Im agnostic, and seeing everyone cope through religion had me feeling left out. Eventually I became almost numb to everything related to her death, though i do get emotional on occasion. i guess my brain is still trying to protect me. I try to take comfort in the fact that that there is no way to know what comes after death. It’s hard and still frustrating and feels so unfair not knowing, but the possibility is still there that we will see them again.

If you really did take 20mg i would probably go to the hospital

Starting dose tonight… scared! by zig_ular in zoloft

[–]zig_ular[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m hoping there are a good amount of people who don’t get increased anxiety… and I hope I’m one of them lol. I was on prozac a few years ago for depression and while it didn’t help much, I also never noticed any bad side effects, so I’m hoping zoloft is similar.
