If overweight or obesity is your only health problem, your risk for heart attack or SCA is negligible at this present time. Unreasonable fear can be detrimental to your over health. If you feel overwhelmed with fear, you need to talk to a psychologist.

Am far more concerned about your emotional reaction, rather than heart attack risk. Diet and exercise can manage your weight issues, and a dietician might be useful. Your anxiety can be readily handled with a cognitive-behavioral therapist. Meditation and yoga are additional tools.
