Pretty miserable

Today I am mostly in bed. I am trying to get used to my new medication. I am checking my pulse and feeling chest pains every few minutes.
I am nauseous and jittery.
Yesterday I had a huge panic attack. It lasted any many hours and it brought me low. I took almost 2 hours to get to the Dr.s office because I kept having to pull the car over for fear of passing out and causing a wreck. Even describing it is giving me the shakes.
I have always been high strung. I have had smaller more manageable episodes before.
I had one huge horrible one the day I went to the emergency room for that cyst that ruptured.
Yesterday morning I was moving boxes all around in search of winter coats. It's cold now. I may have pulled a muscle in my chest or I may have done something to my heart.
I started having chest pains and immediately a panic attack.
Ever since the abscesses I have become quite the hypochondriac so I was sure I was about to die and I was sure I was being paranoid. I made 2 Drs appointments , the first to talk about anxiety and the 2nd to get a good check up.
On my long long way to Rockville I stopped the car in various parking lots and called David and walked and walked and walked.
When I finally got there the Dr checked my heart and told me that I have something up with my aorta  and a bit of a murmur (that's new) so  on Thursday I will be seeing a cardiologist.
She prescribed me something I used to take when I had to fly, as a tranquilizer for during panic attacks and something else to mess with my serotonin so I am not so anxious all the time.
The daily stuff is not habit forming but has some side effects I could do without; naseua and jitteriness and headaches. I pointed out that I already have all of those things but she said let my body get used to it at a half  dose and take the tranquilizer in the morning when it's worst so I can sleep through it. She said to take time off of work if I possibly can for the first few days. So here I am in bed, taking it easy and worried about my heart.
Mom was on this daily thing I am taking and had a horrible reaction to it. It wrecked her stomach. So I am very much hoping not to have that!
I will keep you posted.
