Hi Everyone, I received Hawthorn drops from my doctor here in Switzerland to try and help me with my "nervous heart" as she called it. I have GAD and Panic Disorder and my main problem is fear for my heart. I get the tight chest, extra beat/palp, and feel like I am going to have a heart attack when my fear takes over. 

I have the option of taking beta blockers, but doc suggested to try these drops first.

Anyone else have them and can share your experience?

Many thanks!

    I have bad heart palpitations almost everyday that last almost all day. Then my anxiety acts up. Now I've started feeling flu-like symptoms later after the heart palpitations. I feel horrible.

      I'm feeling better today, thank God. My depression is really bad and my anxiety is trying to act up. It's so pretty outside and I'm stuck in this house. I may try to get out today. My menstrual cycle is coming and I'm always worse then. Sorry you have those symptoms. Do the flu symptoms make you feel like you have no energy and like you're coming down with something? What do you take for your anxiety?
