Great to see you!

You are very wise to see a cardiologist.
It has to be a relief to know you can stay on meds which work for you!

I would sometimes feel extra anxious when out to dinner. In some cases, the food/seasonings/preservatives were causing this increase in anxiety and increase in heart rate.

You know yourself best, of course! Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone reading.

Thanks so much for sharing!
