About a week after he was discharged this came to a head when he was doing his sit ups at night and had only done a couple when his heart 'played up' and he ended up with a panic attack and no sleep. The next day the surgery was most apologetic as a doctor was sick and they couldn't fit him in so he went to the pharmacy and stopped the beta blocker. He saw the G.P. the following day but his anxiety and sleepless nights continued and he has had several visits to the doctor with 3 different prescriptions.
Finally, last night Melatonin worked leaving him feeling good today and not all drugged up. We just hope it continues to work.
On a happier note one of the ladies on the Parkinson's walk asked Doug if he would donate a painting for a raffle for Parkinsons so he framed the one below for them.
Medication changes can be a huge juggle to get them right. Recently during a visit to ED, the Dr prescribed me a new tablet, this will reduce the angina episodes. You might get a slight headache. No, not that but every other side effect it had!!! You can get vomiting, ulcers in your stomach and in your eyes, indigestion, and more. Our new GP told me I am to NEVER have it again. Doug, hope the changes have helped, life is a roller coaster and I hope the ups will be more than the downs. Sue, complications like this take their toll, hang in with both hands.XXXX
