Suggest Treatment For Anxiety

What are my chances of having a heart attack? I have an anxiety over this that I can't shake. I am a 35 year old female, over weight (recently lost 40 pounds and still working at it), active (have 2 children and walk 4-5 times per week), quit smoking 6 months ago, my dad had a heart attack and passed away at 62 and it has me worked up.
