cry

For the last two weeks as I’ve been trying to sleep I’ve had such a surge of anxiety that I’m going to die in my sleep. I have no idea where this has come from, when my HA was bad a few years ago I had the same feeling a couple of times and the same earlier this year, but it’s now been consistent for around two weeks.
I’ve been incredibly anxious the past few weeks and struggling with the physical symptoms - which include heart palpitations and a tight chest - and I worry I have an undiagnosed heart condition or something.
I’ve never had any tests done on my heart and any posts I’ve read on here about something similar seem to be reassured by the fact they’ve had a test. I have no idea what symptoms you would even have as I haven’t googled anything but it’s causing me to worry a great deal. Before this all my health anxiety would revolve around cancer or a terminal illness, not dying suddenly. It’s also causing me issues going out and doing anything as I’m so worried about something happening when I’m out too.
Does anyone have any tips to overcome the thoughts? I am 28 and fairly fit and healthy so I do know it’s unlikely, but as always it’s hard to rationalise when you’re in the throes of anxiety 😞
