No reason.: Your age and the normal tests which i assume were part of a normal physical evaluation appear to make you anextremely low risk for cardiac arrest. So now you have to figure out why you are so anxious about getting sick and dying. Seeing a therapist would be the next step to help you get over this uncomfortable feeling.

Heart attack: In setting of a normal ekg and echo sudden cardiac death and arrest is minimal. There are cirmustances where undetected electrical abnormalities can precipitate arrhythmias but those are rare. Seek help for your anxiety.
