always a symptom ruining everything

i dont know how many of you get physical symptoms from anxiety, but i hope some of yall understand.

(sorry tmi lol)

So like last time i hung out with my boyfriend (like a week ago) i had horrible globus sensation and almost the whole hangout was ruined because i couldnt calm down. Now we finally hung out, my stomach worked normally before but almost as soon as he came here, boom horrible diarrhea that lasted like 15mins and didnt stop. Then i had to throw him out because i just couldnt again. and i had to go again. Im just so pissed that these anxiety stress symptoms ruin EVERYTHING. i'm 19 other couples live together and i cant even hang out with mine for more than 2 hours.
(idk if this is just stress stomach, im also scared if i have some bug or is this just stress but idk)

now i ate and now i feel like i gotta go again🥲 im scared although im pretty sure i'd have some other symptoms. yesterday i did eat a whole sub PLUS a wrap from subway😭😭dont judge me but yeah.. but usually i dont get stomach problems from that but idk could be. Just weird that i've had to 💩 like 5 times today (3 of them were normal and the last 2 were like explosive almost water)😐

i know stress causes stomach problems maybe i was nervous about seeing him (and we were lowk fighting over text last night+morning so idk if i was like scared to see him and talk about the fight which we didnt lol cuz we ate almost right away) but yeah idk.. i did start escitalopram 5 days ago, but only 2,5mg so idk if such a small amount causes such bad diarrhea LOL

i need some hope (escitalopram)

(19F) i dont even wanna scroll on here just in case i see some horrible experiences😭 I started escitalopram (only 2,5mg to start because i have severe emetophobia so im scared of nausea).

I'm not too depressed, im mostly anxious (although the way my anxiety is controlling my life makes me depressed). My anxiety is based on the emetophobia and other health stuff and especially physical symptoms that i get. Please someone tell me this medicine wont drain the tiniest bit of life out of me.

i've seen horrible posts on insta about this (like how it'll permanently affect sexual functioning, idk if on women but anyway), and like make you really numb etc. im just feeling hopeless like is this really worth it?

Im just desperate to be saved from my anxiety, i can barely leave my house anymore. I get globus sensation, hot waves, nausea whenever im in the store or anywhere really.

I really wish 5mg would be enough for me, this past week (started 4days ago) has been really stressful to me because of the fear of side effects especially nausea. So when im gonna change dosage im gonna be even more stressed and im exhausted. Please i need some positive stuff, especially from people who got this specifically for ocd-type of anxiety :(

feeling guilty and worthless

hi, i really hope someone could give me some encouraging words.

long story "short"
so, my anxiety (that started with emetophobia) has gotten worse recently. I get horrible physical symptoms when i go to the store or anywhere really (i get them at home too but not as much). I also feel exhausted constantly because i stress so much.

For example, today i went to the pharmacy. I had to wait like 10 minutes. I started getting hot waves, globus sensation, dizzy, stomach "pain" (more like pressure but uncomfortable either way). I did survive though yes but i already started thinking about running out of there.

That's when it really hit me, I can barely survive 10 minutes in a store/pharmacy, and work starts in 2 weeks. Im absolutely terrified because how will i work a 10 hour shift when i already feel exhausted after going to the store because it's so overwhelming to me.

I'm really thinking about contacting the boss and telling her that i cant. I would like to try, but im scared because i cant really be "trusted" that i'll be able to come to work. Like this one time i had a doctors appointment, i was already getting ready feeling okay but then suddenly wave of panic and nausea hit me and i just couldnt go. so i'm terrified because i cant be a good worker, i cant guarantee that i'll be able to go or stay there the whole shift. And i cant always just leave early. Idk i feel so lost.

I know that this is just an "era" in my life, and it's not my fault. I just feel like such a disappointment, i dont wanna be "lazy" and not work.

i started an anxiety medication 5 days ago, on a really small dose though (so wont help me in time for work, if it even helps at all). im proud that i at least took that step because i was terrified of medicines (still am but im doing okay so far).
I know i will get better at some point, but currently i just feel so hopeless. I've never not been able to work. I was so normal and hardworking before, and now i cant do anything. Only babysteps and having to be proud of myself for the smallest things because even the small things feel exhausting to me.

My mom is going through the same (except because of depression mostly, but she hasnt gone to work in months) she really understands me but still i feel like a disappointment.

Obviously i cant and dont want to avoid things forever but currently everything feels impossible. I feel like i need to wait until the meds help me (will probably take a long time since im only at 2,5mg rn.. will have to slowly go to at least 10mg probably). And this medication thing is so overwhelming to me as well because of slight side effects. Idk im just so overwhelmed and dont know what to do. If i tell my boss i cant come at all, what will she think? god i hate anxiety

nervous bc of anxiety meds

this is like my 100th post about this omd but now i finally started the medication yesterday (escitalopram , only 2,5mg for now) but now im extra scared because im home alone (lmfaoo im 19 but my anxiety is so bad my mom is my comfort person) soo yeah i have to take the medicine in a few hours and im terrifiedddd.

i dont think i got side effects yesterday, although my stomach felt a bit like empty even tho i ate, but idk could be from the anxiety and like thinking about the nausea side effect🥲

idk i just need some encouraging words i think😭

and also im scared because i read somewhere that usually people dont get side effects from the first pill but like day 2-3 are the worst :/ sure it's possible that im lucky and wont get side effects, like many other people, but idk just so nervous that i cant run to my mom if i feel nauseous :(

this is just crazy bc im nauseous like almost everyday BECAUSE of anxiety, so idk why im so scared of the medicine nausea because it will likely help me after some time😭 i just feel so like idk doomed because i had to start it, ive been avoiding all medicines for so long and now i feel like shit that i actually had to start, i just didnt have a choice anymore because my anxiety is too bad (the physical symptoms mostly). but idk im just so scareed. im happy that i can take it like at night (or like 9pm) but i still usually stay up until like 2am so theres a lot of time to suffer either way😭but better than morning iggg.

earlier today my friend was here and i just felt so anxious and nauseous and idk if it's from the medicine or just my anxiety but i genuinely thought i wouldnt take the medicine today but i do wanna lock in and get better so i really should get through this and just take the meds daily :/ just so scary :((

anxiety med

ive made a few posts already but now is the time🥲
i have to take my first anxiety medicine (escitalopram) and i am terrified i feel like im waiting for my death😭 genuinely so panicked i keep thinking of horror scenarios yk... bc nausea is a very common side effect i fucking hate it.

im only starting with 2.5mg so really nothing should happen but god idk it's been YEARS since i've tried a new medicine 😭
i did take a sedative (a little piece lol) so im trying to calm down first, then take the pill and then take a shower right away so i'll be a little distracted for a while. im just so sure that the second im not distracted i start to analyze everything in my body and then panic because i cant undo it. My mom has been taking the same medicine and she never got nausea so idk maybe i'll be lucky🥲

every sensation feels weird/off

Does anyone else have this? It's rlly hard to explain, but i'll try.

So like for example, if i get hungry, i somehow turn that into catastrophic thinking sort of, like i get this weird like extra causious feeling like "hmm.. why am i hungry it hasnt been that long since i ate, wait but i dont even have an appetite right now i cant imagine eating anything right now, what's wrong with me what is this" like EVERYTHING feels off. I just feel off in general?? Idk maybe it's also cuz im unemployed and do nothing all day (except short walks and cleaning) so maybe i have too much time to feel everything idk.

And being tired, i feel like i get this really foggy feeling like my arms are boiled noodles like a really weak feeling? And then i just overanalyze everything.

The hunger thing is the weirdest one so far like it doesnt happen always but usually i always have an appetite, but now sometimes i just get this weird feeling like i get sort of anxious when im making food? and then i can eat it like after some time.

This also happened before at a family dinner type thing, i couldnt eat anything at the table, but as soon as they cleaned up and put the food on a different table, i snacked like a whole meal standing up. I dont have an ed or anything it's not like that, nor a fear of eating in front of people. I'm just soo confused about this. Like now im currently alone and dont have food (i did eat this cucumber greek yogurt thing like an hour ago, but i feel like im starving) but as soon as i asked my boyfriend to bring me a panini on the way here, i started feeling anxious like "i dont think i can cook around him, i probably wont be able to eat and then i'll feel nauseous from not eating". It's so weird.

It's also not a fear that i'd throw up from the food. But i still think it's related to emetophobia/anxiety in general idkkk! i cant figure out a reason. I mean maybe it's normal that sometimes u just dont have an appetite, but i immediately start overthinking it like WHY AM I HUNGRY BUT CANT EAT idfk this is getting insane😭

medication for anxiety

lowk emet related but anyways

i just had a meeting with a doctor and my therapist, and he said "there really isn't any other solution for this, you should really start the medication".

I'm feeling so hopeless, even though i know it's a fact because no amount of therapy can take away my physical symptoms that haunt me daily.

I'm so terrified of the side effects. But i know this is the only way really. I'm starting with a really small dose, so i shouldnt get too nauseous (and im gonna take it before bed, although i'll probably stay up a few hours after because i never go to sleep before midnight).

I just feel like once i take the pill, my mind will go "oh no i just did something irreversible, what will happen what if i throw up what if what if" and then i'll get a panic attack and feel all the side effects that i've read about. I did get diapam 5mg for the beginning to calm down but idk i feel like it wont help (although im glad diapam doesnt have nausea as a side effect, but idk i feel like my panic will push through it).

Idk if im gonna take it today yet but yeah.. probably this week still. +work starts next month so i really dont wanna start the medication during work so i wont have to feel sick there, if i get that side effect. i'll probably rot at home for 2 weeks to be safe.

starting to feel really hopeless and stuck

my healthbased anxiety has been at its worst recently. i get horrible globus sensation, and i also have severe emetophobia (fear of vomiting/feeling nauseous) and it's an endless loop. i get the throat sensation from anxiety, then i start to think "what if this makes me gag/throw up" and then it just goes on.

now, im even avoiding going to therapy. i was supposed to go today, but i feel too shit so i had to text her if we can call instead. Work starts next month and im terrified because how am i supposed to survive work when i can barely even leave my house? If it was JUST mental i could manage, but it's physical. I get dizzy, nauseous, the fucking throat sensation (like my throat is closing up or something is rising up and i have to keep swallowing and it makes me panic even more). I hate this.

I just dont know what to do i feel so stuck. I do leave my house i go on walks and sometimes to the store so im not completely agoraphobic but still. And i did go out with friends on the weekend, im proud of that but idk why im feeling so shit again even though i had a good experience.

I went to the hair salon last week and that was the day that made this whole thing worse, because the throat sensation made me feel like im actually gonna throw up. Then i had another appointment at the hospital the next day, and it was the same. I feel like my brain is just thinking it'll happen everytime now. I hate this SO much.

I do have a medication (escitalopram), i even bought it already, but im too terrified to start taking it because im scared of side effects but i probably dont have a choice anymore. It still wont help me before work starts, because im planning on starting at like 2.5mg to avoid getting too nauseous (if i even start).

living is starting to feel too hard. im trying to stay positive, and i have easier days too, but i dont know, the bad days are taking over :(

im only 19 and feel like im losing my whole life. i feel bad for my boyfriend because sometimes i have to cancel hangouts, i cant do sleepovers, i had to decline going to his fathers wedding with him because it's a 2 hour drive and i just cant.

and now that it's hard to even leave my house to go to therapy which is supposed to be like a "safeplace", it's bad. im just traumatized from the hospital building that my therapy is in because of that one appointment last week.

pahoinvointilääke?

moi! mietin et uskaltaisinko alottaa escitalopram lääkkeen, mut mulla on kauhee pahoinvointi/oksentamispelko (pelottaa et tulee sivuoireena siitä lääkkeestä), nii mietin et onks suomessa pahoinvointilääkettä? en oo ikinä oikee nähny tai kuullu kenenkää puhuvan kun taas moni esim amerikkalainen (kuullu eniten juurikin ihmisilt joilla on oksennuspelko) ni turvautuu siihe zofraniin ku ahistus aiheuttaa kans pahoinvointia.

Näin jotai pahoinvointilääkkeitä ku selasin apteekin sivuja mut ne oli enimmäksee ehkä matkapahoinvointi/syöpään tarkotettuja, ni en ihan tiiä onks sellasta mitä sais helposti reseptille tälläseen ongelmaan. Tuntuu vaa et se on ainut miten uskaltaisin alottaa ton ahistuslääkkeen ku en oikeesti selviäis ees kahta päivää sellasella yhtää voimakkaammalla pahoinvoinnilla vaikka se ei johtaiskaa oksentamiseen.

genuinely going insane

(tw, i dont wanna give new fears to people)

ok so, all this time i've gotten anxious from slight nausea, but been able to comfort myself by thinking "ok i cant have a stomach bug and havent eaten anything weird" but NOW,, i've recently had horrible globus sensation, and now im like scared of getting anxious?? i mean obviously ive always hated anxiety but now i feel like theres no way i can comfort myself becaude ive seen so many people saying they throw up from anxiety. so now im in like an endless fucking loop?? ive never realized i could throw up from anxiety, ive always just thought it could be either a bug or food poisoning. but now i can never be sure and cant comfort myself in any way?

i mean i havent thrown up from anxiety but the globus sensation that ive had recently, makes me feel like im so close to gagging. i feel like my body wont let it happen because i start like twisting myself and scratching and pinching my neck and go lay down as soon as the sensation hits but now idk thats my new fear what if i'll gag/throw up from anxiety sensations😐 im losing my shit like actually.

im unemployed so now i feel somewhat safe that i can always come to bed when i feel bad, but i got a job it starts next month and i feel like i CANT! like how will i survive when the throat sensation hits and i cant just go lay down. what if i'll gag then oh my fucking days why do i keep getting new realizations

this phobia ruins EVERYTHING

hi! i dont need advice because nothing can really fix this, just need to vent.

my boyfriends dad is getting married, and on friday, i talked with my bfs little brother for the first time. His brother is actually dating my childhood friend so we had a fun bonding moment ahah, they were all asking me to come to the wedding (it's a 2+ hour drive +would have to spend the night there).

It was so depressing to have to decline. It's not only this phobia but i have an anxiety disorder in general (fast heart rate etc). But this phobia is definetly the biggest problem here. It's just so sad that his brother was really like please come it would be so fun we'd drink and stuff. My bf understands me completely, but it was a different kind of depressing having to explain this anxiety thing to others.

I just hope that someday i'll heal, or at least get better. Im only 19.
I bought anxiety meds earlier this week after a bad experience (had an appointment and genuinely felt so sick from anxiety i almost escaped) , but now im too scared to start the medication again. so idk if the meds are an option but i hope i'll heal without them :( im also scared that my bf will get tired of this avoiding thing. he is very understanding (because i get physical symptoms from anxiety so it really makes me not able to function) but idk :( i hate this so much.

i know yall cant say much but idk im feeling devastated and need to rant.

i already made a post about this, my dads coworker had noro on sunday-monday night, but now update he came to work today and my dad talked with him. my dad is telling me that he wasnt close to him and was pretty careful with touching surfaces. (he's a truck driver and delivers drinks, and the coworker delivers packages but it's the same place) (but thankfully the sick person probably didnt touch the drinks etc)

im just so fucking terrified, i bought gloves so i can still get water n use the fridge etc (at first i brought my toothbrush and toiletpaper in my room before dad came home from work so i could use the backdoor which is near my room and told my dad not to use that door, which he did now btw lol) i was rlly planning on not leaving my room until i know im safe but im too exhausted to avoid everything that much, i dont wanna shit outside lmfaoo and wanna take a shower. but i touched the door handle etc with the glove and then took it off and washed my hands in the kitchen.

im supposed to go celebrate my bfs bday tomorrow, but im so terrified that it'll hit me. ik it usually shouldnt hit before symptoms start but it's possible that my dad is carrying the virus now before the symptoms and i could already be infected even though ive been as careful as possible.

the coworker even explained in detail that it was the worst stomachbug hes ever had like it was extreme so LOVETHAT!!!! ive been crying so much today. i know i should be fine now though, as long as my dad doesnt get symptoms this weekend but idk... ik i cant avoid it forever but it's terrifying.

im jealous of ppl who are like "i havent thrown up in 30 years" meanwhile i feel like i constantly hear someone i know has had the bug. or like someone at my parents' work. and the risk is huge. i dont fucking know anymore

i know im not in huge danger yet since yeah like i said my dad has been washing his hands slightly more than usual and was avoiding the person (althooough they still talked so i assume they werent that far away from each other so spit particles....) but 😭 idk idk idk still the risk is quite big because im still using the toilet etc. but IF my dad gets symptoms like tomorrow night i swear im not leaving my room because FUCK that. i have a slight plan i could order food and just go get it from my window and yeah. but rlly exhausting to plan so much. but yeah maybe the gloves will save me for now because i wont touch ANYTHING without a glove.

i just wanna know if anyone else has this, or just overall whats your worst physical symptom?

for me i dont even know how to explain it cuz it's genuinely terrifying. it's like, my throat feels tight/like it's closing up (but not in the panic attack-cant breathe type of way) but like this weird feeling like i feel like im gonna gag or something. i dont feel nauseous in my stomach but my throat?? and it happens quite often. then i end up swallowing like multiple times because it's the only thing that helps for like 2 seconds until it feels like somethings rising back up again😐 not like vomit rising up but i genuinely dont know how to describe it, like idfk clay? or something idk it's super weird.

ive had this often (and usually daily but not so intense) but today it was like, REALLY bad and it's not going away. i was so anxious about going to the hair salon so the sensation started in the car on the way there, and it's just so intense that i start scratching/pinching my skin like super hard because it's the only thing that somewhat helps, probably distraction. it's rlly bad and i rlly want this to go away :( im glad it's not this bad everyday but it's still bad and takes over me. no matter what i try to think or do, it stays. It did help a little when i was very distracted when we were talking about my hair, but then 1 minute of silence, it came back. It's SO intense😭 like i know thid sounds like the common panic attack type of thing but i dont think it's like that at all. like rn, im not panicking im just chilling and scrolling on tiktok (and posting here lol) but the sensation is still there it's insane. i hate it SO much. my anxiety would be way less bad if i didnt have this symptom i swear it ruins EVERYTHING because i feel like i get "nauseous" from speaking, or like if i talk it makes me feel like i'll gag which has never happened in that scenario but it always feels so insane idk!! im pissed off.

im just so so so exhausted bc of all this and im scared because it didnt feel this intense before :( i only had it this bad once, when i ran to the bus (trigger place because cant escape) so my heart rate was already high so i got kinda nauseous then anxious and then the throat thing appeared, and i literally had to get off and miss school bc of it, and it lasted for 2 whole days on off😐 but after that it's been manageable (like usually mints+water helps or just being quiet for a while and "massaging" my neck) but today it was so intense so im terrified again. I even took a medicine for heartburn (i honestly dont know if i have heartburn, i just cant burp so sometimes i feel the acid and i take the medicine) so it wasnt that either. i'd feel really comfortable if anyone has this problem too and would share it because i feel so alone in this no one understands how bad it is :/ i still dont know if people feel the exact same sensation because sooo hard to explain. But basically kinda like a THICK slime rising up and going down when u swallow but comes back up (but it's not mucus either)

kinda similar also to when im sleeping on my side and my pillow presses against like the middle of my throat, but just way worse and from the inside. this is the best way i can describe it

just made a positive post but now i gotta rant😀

ik theres nothing i can do about this but i just hate that i constantly need to be causious. last week was really stressful because my moms stomach was a bit messed up so i was terrified for like 3 days (it was nothing though), then my dad too and i had to be terrified again, and now that i finally calmed down, my dad tells me that his coworker had thrown up on sunday-monday night but is coming to work tomorrow. im supposed to celebrate my bfs birthday this weekend but now i feel like i cant go because what if it hits me there.

good thing is that my dad is a truck driver (delivers drinks) and his coworker works in a different space (delivers packages) but still it's the same place. my dad promised me he'll stay far away from him but im scared if everyone else is in contact with him and then my dad, and then my dad will get it and then me. i fucking hate that this takes over my mind :( im too exhausted to panic rn but im feeling depressed.

i know i'll survive etc, but it's just so haunting, the waiting and not knowing what'll happen. usually noro spreads easily in workplaces because someone always touches something that the sick person touches so then it'll be like everyone gets it and then my dad will 100%. iii hate this so much i just wanna live alone and never leave my house omd.

my dad hasnt been in contact with him yet bc it was a long weekend, so maybe not yet at least but im scared that tomorrow he'll get infected. Feels like a fucking zombie apocalypse😭😭
but yeah he said he'll open doors with his foot or sleeve so thats comforting but aaghhhh...

just so scared of the weekend because i feel like if i'll get the slightest stomach ache when im out with bf and his friends, i'll immediately think "oh right now it's VERY possible i must leave". idfk anymore

not a reminder lol but maybe it's good to post something positive here and not always rant.

I've mostly been in bed recently, like max been going on walks and a quick shop visit. Been avoiding buses etc.

Today, i went to the hair salon (one of my biggest trigger places) and it was 3 hours but i did it! and nothing happened once again (although the reason this day was overwhelming is that my physical symptoms are HORRIBLE so the first 1.5h was hell honestly, i had to scratch my neck and hands because i felt so nauseous in my throat, yk like gag type of feeling but didnt gag still) But i still stayed! i even told her that im feeling pretty anxious so i might have to go to the bathroom at some point, but i didnt even end up going. It was very stressful to me but did iiiiiitt.

THEN i went to a bigger store ALONE! and it's kinda like ikea yk like you have to walk through the whole store and cant leave through any "gaps" or whatever. so yeah i did that. T H E N i even took the bus!!! ive been avoiding buses for sooo long but now i just went, i was supposed to get a ride home from my mom but she was kinda far away so i wouldve had to wait like 40 mins so then i saw the bus and just went. And survived once again. my stomach is hurting a bit now though probably from stressing so fucking much because it was very overwhelming since i've been home for so long and avoiding these kinds of places. but im still pretty proud of myself because i was so close to just telling my hairdresser that i cant do this because i felt so nauseous, but i stayed!

now im absolutely exhausted though, and this reminded me once again that i really should consider the anxiety medication because i rlly dont wanna live like this (like i wish it was easier and more comfortable to go to places) but side effectsss scare meee...

i am a bit sad that i got the stupid throat sensation so it was prettymuch torture so thats not positive, but i still wanna be proud that i stayed and did other triggering stuff too😊

the only bad thing is that i still see these kinds of days as surviving, even though it's supposed to be normal. so now im kinda just like "finally i did it and now i dont have to go again and stress about it" , and at the salon i kept thinking "ok only this and this step gotta survive then i can go home" but oh well babysteps i guess🥲 still didnt cancel my appointment like i almost did😃

hi! hair salons are one of my biggest trigger places because i get this crazy feeling that im stuck/cant escape (although i know i CAN like it's not like im in an airplane or something) but idk the fear of vomiting happening AND the fear of causing a scene/acting weird makes me feel really stuck.

so, does anyone have any good tips how to feel less nauseous? the last 3 times ive been to a salon (because we have a bleaching project so i've been there a few times recently) i've got this horrible tight feeling in my throat and then my stomach "drops" (yk like as if i was in a roller coaster drop) and it's just insane. i already have mints and i "pinch" myself to distract but honestly it makes me even more panicky. i also cant focus on stuff like "5 things u see/hear" etc.

Idk what the huge fear is about, i know i can just ask to go to the bathroom but it's just so bad because i'd feel like if i have to suddenly go if the nausea gets too bad i'll embarass myself by causing a scene and stuff :( i really dont wanna go but i have to because my hair is horrriiiddd..

just any tips please :( i also dont have any nausea medicine idk if they even sell any here i've never heard anyone in my country talk about medicine like zofran

it's just extra hard because i dont really have a good experience :/ usually yeah it does get better after like 2 hours (my appointments are usually 4-5 hours) but the beginning is torture i cant focus at all and i scratch myself and stuff it's really crazy

im just so nervous i cant calm down at all my chest feels tight just thinking about it and i really wish i could feel positive so it would feel less scary. my appointment is on wednesday :((

hi i already made a post about getting an iphone 15 , but people said it's not worth it in 2026. so what about ip 16? i really dont want 17 because it's ugly AND expensive but idk is there anything bad about 16? i honestly feel like all phones will overheat but idk it'd be nice if it was a little better at least. my ip 13 overheats soo fast and lags a LOT like i can barely swipe sometimes

ive never rlly understood stuff about pro/pro max like what are the differences? but ip 16pro is very expensive so would the normal 16 be good

hi! i've had iphone 13 since 2023, but now it's starting to overheat and lag too much. I personally hate the designs of 17 etc because the cameras look very androidlike to me. but it is 700 euros so do you think it's still okay to buy or will it be as useless as the 13 soon :/

i use my phone a lot, mostly tiktok and games and snapchat so idk i just hate the overheating problem so much because my fingers are burning

moi! tuli nyt randomisti mielee et toimiiks muilla propral miten? oon montavuotta käyttäny ku on suvussa nopeeta leposykettä ja rytmihäiriöitä (ja sit just esim jos kävelee hitaastikkaa ni nousee tosi herkästi tosi korkeelle) Mut nyt oon lähiaikoina huomannu et ei meinaa sykkeet laskee propraalil. otan 40mg ehkä n. 3krt päivässä (kerra otin vahingos 80mg puolestunnis ja silti oli normisyke:D)
