Heart attack risk: If you are this worried, then the single best method to lower your risk of heart disease is to quit smoking. Time and time again, tobacco use is associated with a myriad of health problems, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, etc..

Anxiety: I think that we have addressed your concerns previously. It is great that your blood pressure and thyroid condition are well controlled, but the #1 thing you must do to decrease your risk for heart disease is to stop smoking. If you are obese, have a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or have diabetes, your risk increases further. There are many smoking cessation programs available.
