Cardiophobia
From the last few months, i've been feeling really down and worried about my health. I'm a hypochondriac since past few years so i have always been overprotective about my health, i didn't have cardiophobia back then but i've been hearing a lot about young people dying out of heart attacks which just makes me restless and wants to go to every doctor for assurance. I'm really fed up and tired of this. Its draining me mentally and i can't overcome it by my own. Even slightest sensation in my body makes me think like i'm dying soon or i might be having a heart attack. I even did ECG and ECHO test and results were normal it still it didn't satisfy me. How can i overcome this issue?

The fact that you are seeking help for this means you recognise you have problematic thinking. You have insight. Thats a good thing. Even though you know nothing is wrong with your heart, you are not able to shake off the anxious thoughts. In this case CBT- Cognitive behaviour Therapy will help immensely. But you need to be persistent and follow through consistently with the therapy. Some medications can also be prescribed to reduce the health anxiety.
Next Steps
Please visit a psychiatrist or psychologist and undergo CBT

You need to consult a psychiatrist and take treatment. In 2-3 consults majority with hypochondriacal delusions improve well. But you need to continue the treatment for a long time and not drop it off. Stigma might prevent you from taking treatment and make your life a misery as well wrong advise. So consult a psychiatrist and take proper treatment. Good luck
