Insomnia: Insomnia often results from anxiety. It is highly unlikely that you will have a heart attack or stroke. However, it is important for you to have good sleep. Avoid caffeine, avoid chocolate, relax at night, and talk to your doctor about these symptoms.

No.: Heart attack and stroke are very rare in someone so young and there is no direct relationship between heart attack & stroke and insomnia. However, chronic insomnia can have many unpleasant effects. Speak with your health care providers about your insomnia. Perhaps improved sleep habits and better control of your anxiety will help you get a better night's sleep.
