Major anxiety about my heart

I suffer badly with anxiety mainly health anxiety and OCD. I get loads of physical symptoms that my doctor says is due to anxiety but I just can't believe it. I always have chest pains, palpitations, breathlessness dizziness, the list goes on. I've had ECGs, 24hr heart monitors. Nothing can calm me. I am convinced I have a heart orobl m or undiagnosed heart condition despite no actual evidence of this. The fear and anxiety of sudden death is consuming me. I'm a SAHM to my little boy. My partner works full time. I struggle to just be alone in the house. I'm so terrified that I'll go into cardia arrest and die and no one will be able to save me. Or I'll have a stroke or anything deadly really. I've had various therapi s and medications over the years but nothing helps. How can I just stop by his fear and enjoy being a mum to my little boy. Every waking moment is filled with intrusive thoughts about dropping dead. I play out these visions in my head of me laid there dying and my family all gathered round. I don't know if Jay to do anymore. I'm so scared all the time.
