Same here, grandad died of heart attack at 55. Dad had one at same age and me and my brother born with heart defects. Any little chest pain or palpation and I poo myself and end up having a panic attack.
Strange thing the body, stress can cause all sorts of symptoms.

Yes, it is.
I've been reading up on this, as I have a vested interest at the moment and it's very interesting.
There is actual Myocarditis that physically affects the heart to varying degrees and can be fatal if acute but there's also Stress Cardiomyopathy, which is as the name suggests is a stress related condition that mimics the same symptoms.
Hopefully, it's the latter.
