Feeling worse today keep thinking I'm just gonna suddenly have a heart attack . Can u just suddenly have a heart attack for no reason? Help
There is always a reason for heart attack . Anxiety does not cause a heart attack even when you feel your heart is racing or you feel lightheaded or short of breath due to anxiety.
Those things are caused by adrenaline that your brain sends out when you are anxious. The adrenaline eventually wears off and causes no harm..
heart attack is completely different and is usually brought on by blocked arteries around the heart that doesn’t allow proper bloodflow and oxygen to the heart. This is extremely rare in younger people and is normally found in middle age and older people from years and years of the buildup of plaque in the arteries.
People can help prevent this by cutting back on fats , red meats,and sugars and eating a healthy diet, mostly plant-based. Keep the blood pressure down, don’t smoke and limit alcohol.
Another thing that’s very important is regular exercise as long as there are no restrictions.
So, if you are young and suffer from anxiety but are otherwise healthy, heart attack is something you are not likely to have. Just live a healthy lifestyle.
Work on your stress level and anxiety and get counseling if you can’t manage.
Listen to relaxing meditations for anxiety and practice slow deep breathing.
I always encourage people to have a check up with their doctor when they experience new symptoms. That way you can get things checked out and have peace of mind.
