Hi
You have fear of heart disease, you have done tests and reports are normal. You often have thoughts of heart attack and cardiac attack even when the test results are normal. To feel better consult a psychologist and explain about the anxious thoughts you have about heart disease and heart attack. To feel better you will need counselling sessions.
With a psychologist you can explain about cholesterol. A psychologist will help you with stress management techniques and lifestyle changes to manage cholesterol.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist.
Health Tips
Contact me for counselling sessions. Along with counselling I can suggest natural foods to calm the mind.
