I have a lot of fears, but one in particular is suffers from a heart attack and dying on my family. I’d go as far as call it a strong phobia. I’m pre-diabetic (but managing my diet), overweight and two people on my father’s side (including my father) died of heart attacks. I’ve become diligent about changing my lifestyle but still feel chest pressure every so often when I think of the possibility. The kicker is that my doctor has run multiple EKGs (all normal) and I actually feel better after about 20-30 minutes on my spin bike. But I still can’t shake the feeling that it’s inevitable. Is this a self-fulfilling prophecy? How do I deal with these thoughts? Any insight is appreciated.
