Hi,
I suffer with health anxiety and panic attacks and yesterday I plucked up the courage to go and see my doctor.
I also suffer with pvc’s, my doctor reluctantly referred me to a cardiologist where I had various tests. They all came back fine (not sure how!)
I feel them all day long but apparently that’s ok, anyhow my doctor is convinced my pvc’s are down to my anxiety... I’m not convinced!
He’s prescribed me 10mg Citalopram and mentioned a few possible side effects. However I still haven’t started them as I’m terrified of the side effects I’ve read about. I’ve read that they make anxiety symptoms worse, can cause palpitations, excessive sweating, insomnia etc.
Does anybody have any good experiences as I’m so afraid to take them. I just want to start feeling normal again. I’m fed up of being plagued with constant worry about my health but don’t want to take something that could make me feel worse!
