Feeling stressed

Today makes 7 weeks since my pacemaker implant. has it ever been a rough 7 weeks, I've been admitted twice during the last seven weeks, went into Afib a week ago today , almost had a heart attack, they had to give me morphine to relax my heart to keep me from having a heart attack. spent 6 days in the hospital trying to get my heart regalated ,my doctor took me off Cardizem and started me on rythomol boy has this been one rough medication. I feel like I am spinning out of control. I stress out over the least thing. preparing meals stresses me out,even talking on the phone stresses me out. Thanks to Robin I've started to journal to try in figure out how to make it better. My blood pressure was low this evening 89/60 has anyone else ever done this, I am feeling really discouraged, please tell me it gets better.

Hi I hope you are feeling better. I get stressed/anxious too. St Johns wort is a herb tablet that I take and it helps especially in times of worry. Just make sure you check with your Dr first. You can get it from any store with the vitimins it really does work!
