KRielly…read your post on anxiety…I too have been dealing with what i am told are anxiety attacks…never had one before I started treatment for Graves…mine come at night..pounding,then racing heart,high blood pressure,that adrenaline rush feeling…I started a beta blocker at the advice of my doctor and that did help with the racing pulse but not the pounding…these attacks went from occassional to nightly which made me start to wonder if the meds are the culprit…so this past week I stopped the beta blocker…had two rough nights and then interestingly enough the past three nights have been uneventful, even restful…I can still feel an attack trying to surface once in awhile but they are ot near as strong as they have been…I suspect that in my case…even though I am on small doses…it is still enough to affect my system in this way…I can’t stop the Tapazole yet but I have a feeling that when I do these attacks will stop altogether…but just to be on the safe side I’m going to see a cardiologist to make sure it has not affected my heart…Deborah
