((((AO))) my anxiety was so bad when I first got sober, my doctors ran every kind of test they could to see what was going on. You might ask your doctor about an echo cardiographs to rule out Mitrial valve prolapse. It's very common in women and very minor but it triggers panic attack type symptoms sometimes. in my case, a small dose of a beta blocker (atenolol) got rid of the panic attacks. It's a very inexpensive and I only take a tiny dose. Please ask your doctor. It won't hurt to rule this out.

I'm so glad your back. You've made such valuable contributions to SR. I hope this might help you as much as it has me.

Love from Lenina
