Hi babycakes,
Well here I am too - wide awake after 3 hrs sleep !!! I too keep waking up with a jolt and instantly start checking myself out - it sucks :-(
If you are worried about the Meds ring GP and ask.
When u r anxious ur body goes into high alert and personally this night time worry is the worst :-(

Finally dropped off about 4 this morning , what a rough nights sleep . .... But I do seem to be slightly better where panicking is concerned so maybe tabs are starting to have affect .although do feel very sluggish , but think I'd rather feel sluggish then the way I normally do .
Hope everyone on here is feeling a little better today too ... Much love xxx

Hi Angel ,
I have been on bisoprolol for years ,they just decided to up them this week as I was still getting palpitations , they have eased the horrid feelings of a pounding chest so I recommend trying them , let me know how you get on .
What dosage have they given . 1.25 mg ? Xx

hi
thanks for getting back to me ,ive been given 1.25mg but i dont really get the palps i have been having alot of chest pains and the shakes so i was a bit unsure cause most people have used them for the missed heart beats palps or blood pressure but i have low bp dr said it might take away some of my physical symptoms ??? also have been on cit for 7 weeks.
i do want to give them a go but worried about the other side effects it may cause !!:)
hope you feel better
