Hi I am 23 years old married and have a 3 year old son. In the past year I have had 2 miscarriages that have severly damaged me emotionally. Last November I started experiencing spells where my heart would race so fast that I could fill it in my throat and it would almost choke me or make me want to cough. I went to my family doctor and he said he thought it was nerves so he gave me clonazepam. These episodes stop for a while but on and off I would have one about every couple of weeks. The past two weeks I have had an episode at least everyday sometimes multiple times a day. I can't sleep at night, i'm depressed, i have to drag myself out of bed every morning, i'm absolutely exhausted all the time, i'm extremely moody. I have never had any health problems up until now. I don't like to go places anymore because i worry I might have one of these episodes. I have gotten to the point to where I just don't care about anything anymore. What should I do? Would I benefit from seeing a therapist or a psychiatrist? It seems that the pills my doctor gave me don't help any more and I think sometimes they make my depression worse.
