I'm 21, overweight but working on that, on the birth control pill, i'm so so scared of having a heart attack, any advice for health anxiety?

Cardiologists: can determine your risk factors. But your young age makes a heart attack unlikely. You may need a stress test Labs like cholesterol, glucose, and an Echocardiogram. Stay healthy.
