Brief Answer: Anti-anxiety treatment will give tremendous relief Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX, Thanks for your query. You have not mentioned if you have hypertension and/or heart disease, though you selected this category. Firstly, during anxiety, one tends to get misplaced apprehensions, particularly after undergoing a traumatic experience in one of the near and dear ones. Please remember that heart attacks do not occur without an underlying heart abnormality or any predisposing condition such as, a strong family history of premature death due to heart attack; diabetes; hypertension. A mere acute anxiety or a panic attack does NOT precipitate a heart attack. In the absence of additional information, I presume that you are healthy and free from hypertension, diabetes; lead an active life and have no vices (smoking/chronic alcoholism, drugs). May I assure you that anti-anxiety drugs, such as alprazolam or clonazepam in appropriate doses will not only curb anxiety, prevent panic attacks but also restore self-confidence in yourself. Just STOP HAVING MISPLACED APPREHENSIONS OF AN IMPENDING HEART ATTACK OR DOOM! YOU WILL BE PERFECTLY OK WITH THE SUGGESTED DRUGS. Please consult your treating doctor who will prescribe these drugs in appropriate doses. Let him examine your blood pressure and heart status, so as to reassure you that there is nothing wrong with the heart or blood pressure.
