Hello Dear Friend
As I was going through your query, I can say that we have somehow developed the symptoms of "Anxiety"
Now as a layman "Anxiety" is an issue of future-oriented
emotion, characterized by perceptions of uncontrollability and unpredictability over potentially aversive events and a rapid shift in attention to the focus of potentially dangerous events or oneâs own effective response to these events.
Natural Disaster like Covid19 and Loss of

Hi
Few months back you had covid and it must have been a stressful experience for you. The pandemic has created a lot of fear and uncertainty all over the globe. It is therefore natural for you to feel anxious after being tested positive for covid. After recovering from covid you started having chest pain and the doctor concluded that it is not a heart condition. You have fear in your mind that you may have a heart condition and you want to get rid of this fear. Living alone is making you feel even more anxious. You can explain about the fear you have about your health in detail with a psychologist. A psychologist will guide you on how you can gradually overcome your fear. I understand you are feeling extremely anxious, do not worry with counseling sessions you can overcome your fear and feel calm.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist.

Hello
If your physical reports says normal, then this is may be fear about your health. This is called health anxiety (hypochondria). You can consult with a Psychologist for further assessment. Don't panic. Be relax.
Few advice:
1. Do some breathing exercises and meditation
2. Get some social support. Loneliness can increase your anxiety.
3. Don't watch the heart attack related videos. This can worse your anxiety.
If you get a proper treatment you can gradually improve from this problem.

Hi... If the doctors have concluded that everything is fine with you physiologically, then we can attribute this extreme fear to your health anxiety.
It is normal to be anxious after recovering from Covid which is life threatening and the fear associated with it is enough to make anyone worry for their life, even after recovering.
Your presenting issues can be easily dealt with Counselling/Psychotherapy.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT and Lifestyle Guidance is required.
