A member asked:
What do you suggest if my cardiologist looked at my chart and saw that i have an anxiety disorder and prescribed me anti anxiety med?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask them why?: Did they prescribe the medication because of symptoms you reported? Were they concerned that some of your symptoms were related to anxiety? No harm in asking them what their reasoning for doing so would be.
