During Christmas I got sick really bad guess was sinus infection, it kept me in bed for a week! And I'm still coughing some, well for 1st few days of being sick I could not put my head down on pillow to go to sleep, well now I'm having problems going to sleep for last three days I take four diff meds I take lexapro and aspirin in day time and Coreg and dilatin at night, I do worry a lot about diff things, here recently one of my good friends passed away in his sleep from heart attack, and that has been on my mine cause I had heart issues last year, and every night I think about it and get nervous then after that one my good friends had heart attack with 100% blockage think god he is back home doing well, then just yesterday my aunt passed away she had COPD, so as you can see I've had a lot on my plate, I was thinking would it be better to switch my routine and take my beta blocker and aspirin during day and lexapro and dilatin at night would that help ease my mind? Or do I need go back to doc thanks for listening

Wow, you've been thru a lot. I'm sorry. I myself just lost a dear neighbor yesterday. She was very important to me, and I'm struggling with that. But she was suffering the last two years and I know her suffering is over.
So....I always think it's a good idea to talk to your doctor!!! And maybe get a complete physical. Sometimes worrying about our health causes a great deal of anxiety.... Especially when we we don't know if anything is wrong! Knowledge is power!!!
It's always good to learn ways to relax and practice those techniques every day.... Especially before bedtime. When it's time for us to go to bed, we think just hopping into bed is enough and that we should immediately fall asleep. But I found that I have to put away the electronics at least an hour before bed, watch some TV, have some decaf tea, journal and pray. I've come to count on this every night and it works for me.
Hang in there. Talk to your doctor. And you may want consider seeing a therapist or joining a bereavement group to cope with your loss and sadness. I'm sure you'll be okay. Be patient and breathe!!!! God bless you!
