Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for reaching out to us with your health story. I am sorry to hear that you have been dealing with these symptoms and have not gotten a diagnosis or effective treatment.
To better help you, it would be helpful to know your gender, age, height, weight, personal history of medical conditions and family history.
I reviewed your medications.
Propranolol is a beta-blocker used to treat tremors, angina, hypertension and arrhythmias or heart rhythm disorders.
Nitroglycerin is a vasodilator. It used to treat episodes of angina (chest pain) in people who have coronary artery disease (narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart). It is also used just before activities that may cause episodes of angina in order to prevent the angina from occurring. It works by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not need to work as hard and therefore does not need as much oxygen.
Citalopram is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
Omeprazole belongs to group of drugs called proton pump inhibitors. It decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
Omeprazole is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions caused by excess stomach acid. It is also used to promote healing of erosive esophagitis (damage to your esophagus caused by stomach acid).
Mymelody, it looks like your physician has you covered for angina, irregular heart rhythms, depression and GERD.
Has any physician mentioned sick sinus syndrome?
Sick sinus syndrome is a group of heart rhythm disorders. Some people will have bradycardia-tachycardia: This is a pattern of alternating slow and fast heart rhythms (sometimes called "tachy-brady syndrome".
Sick sinus syndrome most often occurs in people older than 50. It is often due to scar-like damage to electrical pathways in the heart muscle tissue.
Some medicines can make abnormal heart rhythms worse. These include digitalis, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, and antiarrhythmics.
You may want to discuss this with your cardiologist.
