Glad that you got a beta blocker to help for the time being. I hate how specialists (e.g., cardiologist, GI doctor, neurologist, etc.) always have long waiting lists. I had to wait 4 months to see a GI doctor when I was having bad reflux and needed an endoscopy, which showed I have the upper stomach sphincter had inflammation. Meanwhile, I overheard some guy who said he was going to the GI doctor because he only took a s*** twice a day, and thought he needed to s*** three times a day. I was like, "Are you f***ing kidding me? THIS is what people go to the GI doctor for???" That's probably the case for the cardiologist -- lots of ignorant people setting up appts for stupid, non-urgent things.

I’m not sure about medication. I’ve been on the same bipolar combo for two years now. But I’m not sure when the mild tachycardia started. I do know I took a **** ton of Sudafed and Advil three weeks ago for that miserable sinus infection so I’m not sure if that made things worse. I mean, Sudafed IS a stimulant. But I haven’t had it in over a week. So I’m not sure. I’ll just have to wait for the cardiologist opinion.
