There's always a stiff Long Island drink for acute stress too. It's cheaper and probably safer.
Why is so scary though that is getting you all anxious and/or depressed? Talk about it with us as maybe we can help.It's a very scary place to be,
the anxiety just stems from fear of death and that cycle will go on and on in my brain until i almost can't function. again, this is not regular normal "stress"
Why is there a fear of dying? I can understand that prior to the surgery, I'm sure we all went through that, but you have been through the hard part. Now you get to enjoy life with your fixed heart!
Sure, we are all going to die at some point in our life, but I would think that would be a long time away for you now.
I know you have commented that you are still experiencing some issues even after surgery, but I would just give it time, and also talk with your cardiologist. Maybe there is something they can give you for the PVC's. As with being pale, I was too because I was anemic after my surgery. My doc prescribed some iron pills for me and in a few months, I was as good as could be.
Just hang in there Ryan. I'm not trying to belittle your feelings, but you should be excited about life now, not depressed by it. YOU MADE IT! 100 years ago, well, who knows what you would be going through.
As far as the Paxil goes, I think there are some things your doc can prescribe to help bridge the effects. I don't remember mine taking all that long to start working for me. Again, talk to your doctor. That what they are there for.
....i'm a big "what if" thinker.... my cardio's haven't help either..... I'm so grateful for you guys and your advice. You've been through way more than me.
I need someone to be agressive and explain everything to me.
You know what you need? An aggressive advocate who can go to medical appointments with you. One who won't quit asking questions until they are all answered. Do you know anyone like this?
