Hi, and I truly feel your fear—when anxiety hits the body, especially through heart palpitations, breathlessness, and chest pressure, it feels exactly like something life-threatening is happening. But here’s the truth: anxiety cannot kill you. Even though it mimics heart attack symptoms, anxiety is a false alarm—your body is reacting to stress as if you’re in danger, but there’s no actual threat. Since COVID, many people like you have developed health anxiety, and the fear of being alone or dying suddenly is a common but very distressing symptom. Constantly checking your chest or heart is your brain’s way of seeking safety—but it actually fuels the anxiety loop. To break this, you need two things: retraining your thoughts and calming your nervous system. Every time the fear rises, say this to yourself: “This is just adrenaline, not danger. It will pass.” Practice 4-7-8 breathing—breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Do it twice daily. And yes, medication or therapy (especially CBT or exposure therapy) can help you reduce the fear of being alone or constantly scanning your body. You’re not going to die from anxiety—but you do deserve to live free from this fear. Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your concern. What you're experiencing—palpitations, poor sleep, irritability, fear, and chest focus—are common symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety itself doesn’t cause death, but unmanaged stress can impact your physical and mental well-being over time. I strongly recommend consulting a mental health professional for a detailed evaluation and support. Therapy and lifestyle changes can help you regain control. You're not alone, and recovery is very much possible. Take care.

If your symptoms have appeared again, it signifies a possible recent triggering event or events which you are finding difficult to manage. What we experience as stress and anxiety is the body's protective or defensive response against supposed 'dangers' (life situations which we find difficult to manage). This response presents in form of palpitations, confusion, restlessness, sleep disturbance, shaking etc. Panic attacks can make us feel like we are having a heart attack but in reality its just the fear that makes us feel so. If you can learn to calm yourself down during such episodes, the fear of heart attack will subside too. If you are young, healthy and dont already suffer from a heart condition, anxiety and stress wont cause heart attacks. It wont kill you.
