Heart rate fears: That's too bad since so many great activities in life would elevate one's heart rate. Since you already know that you have a healthy heart, you might wish to consider some cognitive behavioral therapy sessions to get beyond this.

I live with chronic panic attacks and anxiety for 3 years now and fear developing heart problems. Some doctors say anxiety can cause heart disease, while others say it can not. Which is true? I am really concerned.

I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks and have elevated blood presssure when I'm stressed. My blood pressure returns to normal, but I was wondering if episodic high blood pressure can cause an enlarged heart like hypertension can. ?

Can episodic high blood pressure cause your heart to enlarge? I normally have normal blood pressure at rest (120/70) but I struggle with severe anxiety and throughout the day my blood pressure can get very high- especially when I have panic attacks.
