Anxiety or heartburn?
Okay, about a week about I started having some chest pains and slight shortness of breathe. Went to the ER thinking it was heart related. They took a lot of bllod, did an EKG and chest x-ray and all tests came back fine. They told me to follow up with my dr. this week which I did. They think it is stress/anxiety since I have been dealing with a lot over the past couple of months. Death in family and then I had a miscarraige plus little things going on with the house, ie frozen pipes, etc. Anyway, she prescribed me Zoloft. I am scared to take anything like this because I have been feeling fine the past couple of days. The only thing I have it chest tightness off and on. I haven’t taken the Zoloft yet. Would like to try something all-natural first. But then againm I don’t know if the pain is just heartburn as I have never had that before. I have it the better part of a day. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I am a healthy 25 year old female with a great life and fiance.

I am an obgyn nurse with 14 years experience dealing with moms who miscarry and have stress…and Zoloft is a REALLY serious medication. The doctor I work for prescribes Xanax which is a tranquilizer in VERY low doses to use only as needed. Ask for .25mg of Xanax…you use it when you feel an attack, and within an hour you feel better. Zoloft is scary becuase you can feel horrible for 2-4 weeks, tired, and can make depression worse because you’ll feel so horrible. I would recommend seeing a new doctor, or your doctor again and let them know this is a temporary thing, and Xanax would work better because it is a short term treatment. Zoloft can take 2-6 weeks to work.
If you’re just seeing your normal doc…see an obgyn who is used to the stress from miscarriages…they’ll be more likely to treat it short term. Xanax has never had any side effects in a low dose like .25 mg on any of my patients…just nice and calming, and you can function 100% on it!
Good luck!
If you are in the Chicago area PM me and I can send you the docs info that I work with. He’s great!
Natural things you can do:
For heartburn drink a glass of HOT water as fast as you can get it down. I learned this from a cardiologist to tell the difference between heartburn and heart pain.
For stress take a lot of strong B complex vitamins. Also take extra vitamin C. These are 2 vitamins that you cannot overdose on as the excess comes out in your urine. Also your body doesn’t store them and they are used up quickly in times of stress.
