Cardiac Anxiety

I came back from a long haul trip two months ago and when I got off the flight I had swollen ankles and ever since then I keep having a panic that I’m going to have a blood clot or heart attack.

i had a turn walking home from work about a month ago also and felt I was going to faint. I went to hospital 3 times panicking but they told me each time after a ecg and blood tests that I am okay and haven’t had a heart attack. They did however put me on heartburn medication.

since this I’ve been so worried about my heart and health. I’ve even developed ectopic beats when I think about it and sometimes can’t sleep through focusing on my heart.

i don’t know how to calm my anxiety and feel more normal again. I can’t keep going to back to hospital panicking but I don’t know what else to do.

Any tips for this kind of anxiety?
