A member asked:
Why do i have "waves" of depression for like 3 days, then i feel kind of normal again for a few days, then really depressed again for a couple of day?

Depression: To answer this question, you really need a thorough evaluation with your doctor. You've listed a couple of problem areas, but haven't shared any medications you might be taking. Consultation with a psychiatrist would be of use also. Some mood disorders can present this way, but also environmental stimuli like work or relationship situations can affect your mood also.

If during an acute tachycardia episode with chest pain & SOB, EKG shows increase in PWA, prolonged P-wave duration, and ST depression, but EKG returns to normal after the episode. Do I still need to be concerned? Is this just stress or something more?
