Suggest Treatment For Fear Of Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Hello,I am 29 years old male, 5 7, 140 lbs, from last two months i am suffering from a fear of sudden cardiac arrest without any valid reason, i did several appointments with doctor and undergone ecg, echo, ETT, holter monitor test and all the results came normal, i have no family history of heart disease also, i have read the causes of sca and i know that i am not at risk of sca. Basically I have read many article in the internet about sca which made my anxiety worse. What should i do now... this fear has made my life hell !! In some of the article they told that sca can occur to completely healthy person also... after reading this i cant live my life to the fullest... i am in fear and huge depression( i dont smoke and also carry out regular physical activities)... please help me how can i get rid of this anxiety?

Dear Sir,

You have minimal risk for heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest. You know about that.
It seems you have phobia and you can't overcome it alone
I would advise you to visit psyciologist.
You should know that we all have many risks not only cardiac, but all they are quite rare, so there is no need to get anxious.
We can help only with healthy lifestyle and being careful.
Try to keep calm and have fun and pleasure from everything you do. Be positive.

Regards,
