I've been taking metformin for more than 15 years I think. My current Dr. cut it down from two 600mg. pills to one about 2 years ago. I never had a problem with it.

I had an incident this afternoon. It is definitely not anxiety! I had to get the Rx from my allergist ( private practice so he couldn't call in to the hospital), then went to the same nature center to walk around and then pick up my paintings because the exhibit is over. I felt good except for my throat, and allergy symptoms which are a combination of a virus and allergy today. After 40 minutes or so I got in the car and sat down. Immediatly I felt something. This time it may have been my heart racing I think. I ate a granola bar and peanut butter and crackers in the car, then drove home, about 15 minutes. My blood pressure and blood sugar were normal but pulse 103. I think it went up because I'm worried about what's wrong but I think I noticed the racing right away this time.

My medically knowledgeable friend thinks it may be heart arythmia? I think someone mentioned that here. I don't know much about that. I thought I was safe because EKG and stress test a nd echo were normal! She said I need the 24 hr. heart monitor test.

It could be meds causing this but it started before I knew I had blood clot.

So, how do I make this about therapy? My T says I am the boss of me! I decide what to do about this. I think my Dr. will listen now that there is no way I was anxious at the nature center! I'm very allergic but didn't have any weird symptoms like wheezing or swelling. I feel like updating T but I won't. I'll see what happens the rest of the day.
