Hi,
Sometimes we fear for things worst which is never going to happen. You are getting the thoughts repeatedly. We need to analyse how frequent you are getting the thoughts and when you are getting thoughts.
Write down your thoughts, how frequently and when you are getting these thoughts, and is there any evidence supporting your fear. You'll get relief or clarity for sometime.
Then consult a counselling Psychologist
Next Steps
consult me online
Health Tips
Engage yourself in any form of physical activity in your leisure time.

Hey There!
I’m so sorry to hear this. You are suffering from excessive Anxiety over the fear of having heart attack or of dying of it. Maybe probably you have heard or seeing someone die due to that. These obsessive thoughts make it difficult for one to function even the daily basic routine. A proper diagnosis and therapy by a professional psychologist will help you overcome your fears.
Next Steps
Please reach out to a psychologist online or in person whatever you are comfortable with. It’ll be great if the psychologist uses “Cognitive Behaviour Therapy” which is one of the most effective therapies till date.
Health Tips
1. Try to close your eyes and Focus on how you breathe for 2-5 minutes. Now Gently slow down the time of your breathe in and breathe out. For example- if you breathe in and out in just a second now try to breathe in for 2-3 seconds and breathe out for 3-4 seconds. Be very gentle while doing this.
The power of any kind of breathing techniques alone is one of the greatest tool to ground us in the moments of panic, stress & anxiety, it is something which we have with us wherever we go.

Goodmorning!
Your fear of an assumed heart attack is causing you stress. It is understandable that you are feeling overwhelmed and also vulnerable, hence feeling like crying.
However, you can begin by challenging this thought at the root cause.
1. No history of heart ailments ( as per your brief)
2. All reports normal
3. No evident symptoms.
What you focus on grows. Focus on health and wellness. Your heart is well aligned with the other parts and functioning well.
As you shift your focus on overall well being, it will automatically lead to healing.
1. Engage in a healthy lifestyle : walks, mediation and yoga.
2. Connect with nature and soak in the sunshine.
3.Believe you can overcome this and you will.
You are a young, capable aspirant with a bright and promising future.
There are phases that can seem challenging. They can be stumbling blocks but once you strengthen your grip they can be stepping stones.
All the Best!
Counseling sessions can be beneficial. You can connect for further professional guidance.
Happy Healthy Living!

It's important to recognize that experiencing anxiety and panic attacks can be overwhelming. Since your medical tests have come back normal, it suggests that the symptoms might be related to anxiety.
Consider reaching out to a mental health professional, such as a therapist or counselor, who can provide support and guidance. They can help you explore the root causes of your anxiety, teach coping mechanisms, and work towards improving your overall mental well-being.
Next Steps
Also try this breathing exercise when you feel anxious: Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs as much as you can. Without exhaling, take another breath in immediately after the first one. This doesn't need to be as deep as the first inhalation but should be a comfortable breath. Exhale fully and completely through your mouth. Make this exhalation longer than each inhalation. Continue this pattern - two inhalations, one long exhalation. Focus on the rhythm and make sure the breaths are smooth and not forced.
