DEPRESSION & CARDIAC: Have a physical exam to rule out a physical illness. When you have a lot of anxiety you are more likely to have a panic attack. Panic attacks can mimic signs of a heart attack but are very treatable. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help you with your depression with ZOOM.com.
