"after my heart attack, i began having anxiety attacks. exercise would give me temporary relief but the anxiety would often return soon after stopping. one lorazepam would control it for 1/2 a day or more. i didn&#039;t like taking it, but everyone said that controlling my anxiety while i recovered was more important. now i would recommend to any heart patient to go to their doctor and get a a prescription for it to get them through the first year of recovery."
