Anxiety: First have a physical exam to rule out a physical problem. When you have a lot of anxiety you are more likely to have a panic attacks that can mimic signs of a heart attack but are very treatable. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist for video psychotherapy for help. Research shows with psychotherapy you can grow & change in good ways with better coping mechanisms.
