A member asked:
How common is myocarditis? how can you tell between genuine heart trouble and anxiety induced palpitations and fatigue by yourself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't try. Untreated: significant chronic antenatal anxiety exposes a fetus to high cortisol levels that can affect fetal brain development, with long-lasting effects on stress-related behavior, emotions & cognitive abilities. Seek referrals from your OB to a psychologist for Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy & to a psychiatrist, as fetal exposure to anti-anxiety meds may be less of a risk than remaining untreated.
