Ok so I know the tachycardia meds can cause difficulity sleeping and cause havoc on my anxiety problem and the problems get tossed back and forth so its the end of the week and im finally getting better on my heart but still having anxiety atacks at night while sleep of how fun they arnt. My heart feels better now took a week to get it down.
Just having some anxiety atacks like shortness of breath ontop of that as side effect of my labetalol, so I went to ther ER twice so my doc has a record of whats going when these things happen right. I wake up after sleeping great with anxeity feeling scared or difficulty breathing. I know thwe symptoms will get better as I can lower the dose of my heart meds since my heart and pain are gone to nothing slowly.
So the moral of the story is I sleep for like 4 hours at a time or at night I feel scared cause my anxiety shoots up.
How and what can help sleeplessness, stuff I may have not tried?
If I take sleep meds I just lseep forever or if I get up for work I feel liek crap, I can bar with minimal sleep until im so exosted I wake up and fall right back to sleep after 30 minutes but still wake up feeling like shit.
I could use some tips to help, used to do tai chi to calm myself it works for me but I do not remember all the calming movements.
Lack of going to the gym contributes to it wich I guess is what kept me eating right with my other issues minor corhns disease and working on cars aparently was what kept me off heart medicine for 5 years until now a year after stopping, including anxiety since thats physical activity I enjoy and interact with others.
If you want to to why I have all three problems The hospital finally ran all the tests and told me I have a thyriod and andrenel gland problem there going to send me to doc in few days for wich makes all this worse of course.
So as far as relaxing and sleeping well on miniuem sleep what are your tips?
I like tai chi its silly but works
I enjoy working on cars but no way of doing it currently since im already on my second degree accounting and business acc wich im getting As in accounting and able to do work easily.
Few other things relax me such as going out during the day and hanging out at places I can talk to people. but right now my classes are online.
I feel like I been run over by a fright train any relaxation technique suggestions to help all this until they get everything in balence?
Just rather not have a bad tachycardia atack agian they really take a week to recover and trigger my other problems.
Do not care what you have to say just want feedback please, man in need here?















Your labetolol should control the tachy and help you relax as well. I found this:

Some of the wording/techniques is a little silly, but it is similar to what they taught us in pharmacy school. (EMF fields aren’t really that big of a deal =)
You should be on a maintenance med for anxiety if you can. An SSRI (prozac, zoloft, celexa, paxil…) or Buspar are commonly used. Any sort of stimulant is going to make the anxiety worse
Your glands may have something to do with it. See what that doc says.
Finally, does having one or two beers help? When used responsibly in small amounts by adults, alcohol can be a good thing. I’ve had days at work when I come home and have just 1 beer on occasion, and all the petty problems that bug me from work are gone.
