Trauma, fear, ptsd,
Hello doctors. Few weeks back a i saw some distrubing videos related heart failure and cardiac arrest. Since then i am traumatized. I keep having anxiety and negative over thinking. I have even stopped working out because I'm too scared that something will happen. Please help me, it's too difficult for me these days to think positive and i live in constant anxiety and fear related to heart diseases. Too much overthinking and bad thoughts and fear.

I can understand what you're going through, just try grounding exercises... If you don't know how its done try youtube once or I'll tell you if you want. I know it isn't easy to think positive. A lot of people just think these things go away by talking if only they knew how vague the statement is... Don't worry I'll try my best to guide you. Tell me are you comfortable with sharing you trauma? If you're not then are you comfortable with sharing all the symptoms in details? Nothing is forced btw, you can share if you wish to. I know 9/10 times old memories are very annoying. Just try not to think at all because more you try to think positive the more your brain will drag you to negativity
Are you taking any medications? If yea then let me know
Next Steps

Mind is a very powerful organ in body.
You will need to get over the fear by facing it.
You can get ECG done and get basic checkup.
Once you get to know that things are normal you can let go the fear.
Last resort would be getting 2decho done and get a cardiologist consult.
Regarding exercise regime... Anything in excess is always harmful. Moderation is key. Don't stop working out but don't overdo. For exercise also you can seek expert opinion
Next Steps
Basic check up by physician
if necessary cardio consult
If still you can't get over it then consult a psychiatrist.
Health Tips
Although everyone is suggesting psychiatrist visit first. But I would advise physician visit first so that you can get to know about your heart conditions.
