    ok well first lets understand the beginning of the anxiety thought process.
    1 Feeling Anxious
    2 ''Im sure my heart has missed a beat''
    3 worry makes the heart react
    4 this confirms what you have just thought and you think ''oh my God i am having a heart attack''

    Same can happen if you think your having a stroke

    With a real heart attack the symptoms normally just occur regardless of if your feeling under stress on not.

    However only if you have a serious heart defect then anxiety can be bad for the heart

    But in a healthy person its just like exercise for the heart and not at all dangerous. Although on a scale of 1 to 10 it feels 11.

    Ask yourself what the chances of you having a heart attack would be and they will turn out to be negligatale

    Generalised anxiety disorder affects about 1 in 50 people

    IF I EXPLAIN WHAT SYMPTOMS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE REAL ONES THEN YOU WILL START HAVING THEM AS A RESULT OF ANXIETY AND THEY WILL FEEL REAL. Anxiety affects you body in a physical way.

    Best of luck and Ive been through the same and I hope you get better soon
