A heart attack at your age would be at the bottom of a list of anxiety related outcomes. I would seek out a life coach and learn some stress management skills. In the process you may uncover some underlying triggers to stress that you can then deal with productively.

Anybody can get a heart attack at any given time, however in your case it sounds like your anxiety disorder is becoming disabling to the point where it interferes with activities of daily living. Talk to your doc about your fears, focus should be on controlling your anxiety.

Anxiety can produce symptoms similar to a heart attack without there being one. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
