So I struggle with panic disorder and currently am very heart obsessed. I got a apple watch for christmas and find myself constantly checking my heart rate. 

I obviously get anxiety/panic attacks from time to time, or when I’m in public I just tend to be slightly nervous and anxious which raises my heart rate. But of course I also have good days, with barely any anxiety. 

Can the temporary effects of anxiety on the heart (elevated heart rate, high blood pressure) cause lasting damage to your heart?
