For many years I battled with major anxiety.  It wasn’t a nice experience at all.  During my teenage years, anxiety was as much a part of my life as my pimple cream.  I remember feeling so afraid and out of control.  If you experience anxiety, know that I empathize with your experience, I’m sending you lots of love and support, and that you are not alone.   According to AnxietyPanic.com, millions of Americans have some form of anxiety.  It is a normal reaction to stress that helps one deal with tense situations and helps one to cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling anxiety disorder. Anxiety can be accompanied by physical e...

I was poking around the internet and my old text books this morning looking for definitive differences on the ol’ anxiety attack and MI. I know that some experience such extreme panic type feelings, heart palpitations and shortness of breath, that the only definitive way to tell exactly what is going on is looking for ST changes on an EKG. So much of what I read really bothered me. “The difference is that panic attacks are not crushing and heart attacks you feel into your left arm” and “Heart attacks are not associated with palpitations and shortness of breath”. Really????? I think not, I have had patients explain all of the above for both MI’s and pa...

Has anyone out there tried the Chantix drug to cease their nasty ol’ smoking habit? I know that with every single cardiac patient we do the whole stop smoking spiel and are now offering up a huge number of prescriptions for this “magic” little medicine. I am curious if number one it worked for you? Number two… any side effects or issues with it? I have seen a lot, and I mean a lot, of patients lately having anxiety and severe panic attacks, heart palpitations and that isn’t even the tip of the iceberg. The dreams that people tell tales of… My father used this and it cut his cravings for the cigs down. He did complain of the nightmares and vivid dreams but not much else.  He has yet to give up the o...
