I'm always scared of that as well! I have an extreme fear of cancer and my doctor said what a person obsesses about they bring on! Don't know if I should stop worrying or find another doctor!lol

No you cant give yourself an illness by thinking about it. You can cause yourself a lot of stress and worry but thinking about your heart is not going to make you have a heart attack.

No you can't! Panic and anxiety can't harm you though it doesn't feel like that at the time I know. For me it's constant worry about a heart attack so if it were possible I'd have had one by now!

I can't believe a doctor would say this tbh it's very irresponsible!

i have a fear of my heart. but for your doctor to say that well thats just so wrong. he was either trying to scare you to make you snap out of youy ways or jus something else
