She's left a message at the specialist's office and they return calls within 48 hours. I guess that means even on the weekends! I hope so.

When she started the new short-acting meds, she started with 1 pill 3 x day, then worked up to 2 tablets 3 x day. Tomorrow she will take only 1 in the morning, and 1 mid-day.

The pharmacist didn't say 'go ahead', but the risk from hyperventilating and high pulse is greater than that from reducing the medication. I am to call her tomorrow afternoon.

She has her yearly checkup with her GP next week, so will talk to her as well.

Thanks, Karen! I AM worried.
