Hi Kelley,
Good old beta blockers! I wouldn’t have made it without them. They
will slow your heart rate (it’s nice to be able to talk without
gasping!) and calm the trembling (not completely, but you can
probably at least sign your name again!)
Be sure to keep a check on your pulse rate so it doesn’t go too low.
Check with your doc about how much and when to taper off – and I do
mean taper. You can’t just quit them all of a sudden, but they are
not addictive or habit forming in any way.
Best of Luck,
