A member asked:

I always see news about people dying from sudden heart stopping without having previous health problems. this somehow feels scary,so should anyone check & what should he check & what is the cause. i have health anxiety so should i take it seriously?

You should seek help from a physician you trust and if he confirms that you have no heart problem, then seek his recommendation regarding treatment of anxiety. Regular exercise ias always helpful. I wish you good luck.

1st have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. If you are cleared consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help you with ZOOM & a Psychiatrist for medication. Your fears and anxiety could be heightened because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe, cautious & hold on to hopefulness to elevate your immune system.
