Sorry to hear that! :hugs:

A big part of overcoming anxiety is acceptance. It's so hard for people like us with HA to accept the symptoms as they are but they are just the discomforts of anxiety.

I hope and pray that you can overcome this fear.

Ugh that is extremely sad. Things happen though. My dad died of a sudden heart attack at 45. I was only 15 at the time and I remember I couldn't believe it. I never would thought that would happen. His heart attack was probably brought on by cocaine abuse. Which of course I never knew about back then but at 21 I know a lot of things now. But anyways, I feel for you because my body totally freaks me out sometimes too.. Like I don't know what's going on in there and that scares me but you really shouldn't think about things like that. People without anxiety probably don't think about how scary the human body can be. But who knows what can happen. All you can do is enjoy every minute of life that your living ya know. Stay strong and try not to let that anxiety get the best of you. (I know it's hard).
