Re: Carers under 30...

I think we do like to see reward for effort @outlander and I have found it important to acknowledge these small steps. I think that as we accomplish these, our capacity for bigger steps increases.

Re: Carers under 30...

yes definently acknowledging those small steps @Former-Member thats a good point!

Hadn't heard how you went after getting the 2nd opinion @outlander 

Re: Carers under 30...

I am glad i got the second opinion. @Former-Member While they said basically the same thing as my regular gp,she explained it more which was better the arrhythmia at this point is abit normal for my age and not something to worry about right now but if my symptoms worsen etc let them know and we will do a repeat of the tests and will do some checkups to keep an eye on things every now and then as a regular thing. She explained that it may be the high adrenaline levels not cortisol because my heart peaks and stays there but then it drops back down so shes given me a beta-blocker to see if it helps my symptoms as they come on even when im calm. Plus my bp was up really high as well so its like doing 2 things at once with this med. She said she might like to investigate other causes though because she doesnt like to confirm its anxiety if there are other things to rule out.

Have you got a time frame to reviews if meds are helping or not @outlander ?
