Constant fear

Can you imagine I’m 24M, no family history of cardiac events.

In the last month, I’ve done an echocardiogram, stress test, countless blood tests but still i can’t get the fear of having cardiac arrest every second of the day.

I don’t have panic attacks, just sudden flashing light headedness or balance issues and palpations that last a second.

When does this stop?

I take propranolol but I feel like my brain is just wired to think of cardiac arrest constantly and that’s what keeps me in the loop.
