@jc76 does your cardiologist prescribe the low dose anti-anxiety medication? Most won't. I find Klonopin to be really helpful in averting the worst of my arrythmias and my neuro prescribes it for other issues.

windyshores, I see a psychiatric medication specialist at Mayo Clinic. She recommended the Escitalophram to help with my anxiety.
However she told me before she could she needed to confirm with my medical doctors their approval. She then got back to me and said that my electrophysiolgist (EP) and heart failure doctor said they concurred and approved the prescribing of the medication.
My EP about a month ago put me on Mexiletine (low dose) to help reduce PVCs. Before EP did this they coordinated with my heart failure doctor and again heart failure approved the medication.
I think I mentioned is a post about a team approach by mental health and physical health specialist and this was what I was talking about. I can get any better care that I get from Mayo Clinic.
