    Hi Brenda, 

    It’s quite common with anxiety.  A heart problem would be in the center of the chest from what I’ve read.  I was on 60 for about 2 weeks, and Dr put me on 80 yesterday.  If you can handle the side effects, I would go up, you can always go back down.  The anxiety was better for me in week 12.  If you think you can wait a few more weeks on 40 then wait, otherwise I would go up.  My Dr says it takes so long to work that we could wait forever.  He’d rather have me see if a higher dose is better. I hope this helps.💕

      I know exactly how you feel, it’s so hard.  Hang in there.💕  This time for me it’s the depression, last time, about 20 years ago, it was the terrible anxiety.  It will get better.
