Fear of heart attack: My first response is to ask if there is a specific reason you are worried about having a heart attack. Did someone in your family have an early heart attack? It is true that more men and women die of a heart attack than anything else. It is important to know and manage your risk factors. Avoiding diabetes and metabolic syndrome is critical. Also, have lab tests for inflammation.
