Always anxited about getting any big disease. will this anxiety lead me to cardiac arrest?(18 years old male)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Severe anxiety: Clearly you worry way too much. Your info says nothing about heart disease so I have to assume that as an 18 yr old who has never smoked ( very good!) that your heart is healthy. The worry should not lead to cardiac arrest but i bet you would feel so much better if you got some help. Please get a referral for cognitive behavioral therapy and see your doctor about possibly trying some medication.
