Went to the Dr's about my heart!

[KnottedYet]

Go take a nap, you probably need it!

It's all good.

Yes, and don't worry about how much your Rx costs either. Glad you got a good report from your doc today. Maybe you need more R & R on the Big Island.

Oh man i wish! And the meds were not much $$$

Great to hear you have a great heart

Prob no surprise that you have a tad on anxiety what with the little one being unwell for so long as well as all of life's other "normal" hurdles... At least you can take worrying about your heart off the list...

So glad to hear that Brandi! My palps are almost completely gone since I started getting out on the bike more often. Sounds like both us might just have anxiety-related palpitations. It's no wonder with what's going on with your niece. Be good to yourself and enjoy the relief!

Don't half a pill w/o asking your pharmacist if they can be cut. Some meds are time released and when you cut them in half you get way too much medication. W/O knowing what you are taking, the general rule of thumb is two weeks of sleepiness on average until your body adjusts. I'd start out taking the minimum amount possible - that's my advice coming from years of working in the mental health field. Can't give you any personal based advice.

I am glad to hear that it wasn't your heart - whew!

I will ask him. They do have a split down the middle though. I feel groggy even today. Iwonder how long that stuff stays in your system?

I called my Pharmacist and asked if i could split it in half. They said it was just fine. That it takes down to the lowest dose you can get of that med. And next time I could get the lower dose. But heck I get more this way and don't need a refill sooner. I will stick with this dose but cut the pills in half!

It was strange I kinda broke down in the Dr's office. They asked what was going on in my life. And it just kinda all poured out. The fact that when I bike or play Volleyball I don't have any problems I guess was key.
It is very strange when I poured it all out I couldn't believe all that has been going on in my life! I don't even remember if I mentioned to you gals about my Niece on my dh's side of the family who was diagnosed with Huntingtons desease last year at age 18. And was given about 5 years to live a normal life. Maybe? The Dr was shocked about booth stories of our niece's. She asked me a lot of questions about booth because they are so rare.

Thats tragic, Brandi

If it is a once-a-day pill, you can take it at night, about 30 minutes before bed time. That will help the sleepiness work to your advantage.
