A member asked:

I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and svts, which wake me up at night and sometimes result in panic attacks. is it safe to take ativan (lorazepam) to help ca?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prior to sedative: You do not indicate whether you have C-PAP device or instead a dental splint, but you should use one or other to control the Sleep Apnea, which could trigger the SVT. Once breathing is stabilized, would not be reluctant to allow a drug like Ativan (lorazepam) at bedtime.
