Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Symptoms of anxiety and heart attack are very similar. Either ways you have to take treatment for anxiety disorder. Improvement of your anxiety disorder will help in making you strong in dealing with the illness. Paroxetine and sertraline are good drugs for this purpose.
