asked

I am a 28-year-old female smoker with a resting heart rate between 90-105 bpm and blood pressure close to 120/80. I am not overweight but inactive and have a poor diet. I have been checked in the ER four times in the past eight months for a possible heart attack, with all tests (ECG, blood tests, chest x-rays) coming back normal. Despite this, I worry that my anxiety might lead to a heart attack. What is the likelihood of my heart condition deteriorating quickly, and can anxiety cause a heart attack?
