when i was doing theatre, sometimes i would get really nervous, so i took two 0.25 mg xanax. only thing is that i would have to dance and sing, and sometimes i'd be up on stage and feel like my heart was just POUNDING. is it dangerous to take xanax and then do physical work? i mean, was i running the risk of giving myself a heart attack?

Xanax is an anti-depressant and anti-anxiety compound. It does not alter your metabolism but rather works on your central nervous system
It is not dangerous to do physical activities with Xanax in your system but it might be harder to perform on them. The "Pounding" sensation you experienced was probably more of a panic attack, not directly brought on by the drug.
If your daily regimen involves strenuous dancing then I would bet that your heart is healthy.
If you are really concerned it might be advisable to have your physician order an ECG to put your mind at ease.
So get back on stage and break a leg.

What you have is what I had and outgrown somewaht. You have severe anxiety because you are insecure and self-conscious. I bet you are scared to death of dieing and fist-fighting.. The best advice I can give you is to not take any medication for this. Physical fitness such as running can help. You should also work on facing down your demons and confront them head on. Be courageous about it. Don't give in to cowardly ways.

You should ask a doctor. I don't think the regular joe on here is helpful.
I have taken xanax after my heart attack to control my anxiety. It mellowed me out ..not raced me up.

Well, being too excited is not good for your health. Don't get nervous. Take a deep breath and drink a cup of water before you sing and dance.

If you are concerned then you need to get to the ER like NOW. You probably didnt have one but any heart scare requires a check up. Better safe then sorry.....

If you are asking and so worried about it than obviously you knew you were participating in something extremely dangerous. Either stop doing theater or be more professional about it. If you can't hack it, get out. And take better care of yourself.

I would talk to a doctor, but before you do I would take a break from threatre and stop taking xanax. If you still have that problem, then definately ask a doctor.
