Greetings Sweet-Hearted and Gentle-People,

In a couple of weeks I'll be heading back to my pdoc to get more refills of Zoloft and Lamictal. Now I've had heart problems for about 10 years or so and I had to go to the health center on my college's campus b/c my chest pains were so bad. I told the nurse that I've had heart problems for roughly 10 years and have a very lengthy history of social anxiety. ...her brilliant deduction was to go to my family doc next time I'm home.

Anyway, I went to my therapist that same day and she said that my heart problems are becoming worse over the past few weeks b/c I'm trying to be more sociable and I'm extremely anxious b/c of that. She says that I'm always have a panic attack of sorts b/c I'm trying to be more sociable. (I didn't really take that very well..)

Long story short, I'm going to my pdoc in a few weeks and my question is: If I'm being told to go to my family doc for my heart and my therapist is telling me that I'm having a kind of panic attack all the time b/c I'm trying to be sociable, do I need to talk to my pdoc about a new medication for anxiety??

(Sorry that was long, but I figured that details were needed ^^; )
