As I understand the drill with Tykosin, you have to go back into the

hospital to increase the dose. (They monitor what it does to the QT

interval.)

--- I certainly CAN identify with anxiety and panic causing fib

attacks. I started having them at 4:00 A.M. for two weeks every three

days, so now I wake at 4:00 every morning worrying and wondering if

it will happen again! Sometimes I just get out of bed rather then lie

there and worry.

Today I had 1/2 pint of chocolate ice cream, just outof frustration,

also my 4 grandkids have been visiting for 5 days, and this afternoon

at 4:00 P.M. my fib kicked in! I say anxiety, stress, and certain

foods, are definitly a trigger for me!
