What Causes Heart Attack While Suffering From Severe Anxiety?

Hi there. I just suffered a heart attack 2.5 weeks ago. I ve had 3 cardiologists tell me that they re not sure as to what caused it. There is no blockage, and no stints were necessary. I m 42, quit smoking 3 yrs ago, and have been sober 16 yrs. I eat healthy, but don t get as much excercise as I probably should, as it causes anxiety most of the time. I was also diagnosed with acute anxiety and panic disorder some 20 odd yrs ago. Brian.
