Hi my name is louyse,and i have been on this forum before.I am 46 years of age,and for the first time,i have missed my period this month.Im worried is this normal,i have anxiety,dizziness and off balance sometimes.I am on anti depressant lexapro 20 mg and half an anti anxiety tablet.I do work full time,and do manage fine at work.I'm really scared as ialways seem to think i am going to die from a heart attack,even though i have wore a holster monitor and my heart is perfect.I wish none of us had to go through this.I want to exercise but im scared of everything to do with my heart,and i can't explain why.Please someone tell me why,if anyone else feels like this
