RACEKA,

Have you talked to P-doc (if you have one, or even primary care doc)about taking a beta-blocker?

It helps with the physical symptoms by blocking the adrenaline so at least when you are startled your heart won't jump out of your chest. It has helped me a lot and I seem to come back down to earth quicker because the physical reactions aren't as strong.

Hang in there. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.
