How to Overcome Fear of a Heart Attack

Heart Attack Fears – Let hypnosis lower your stress, reduce worries and reassure your unconscious mind

Cardiac anxieties after a heart attack are natural…up to a point. A certain level of anxiety will prompt you to make valuable changes in the way you live your life, but preoccupation with the possibility of having another heart attack just increases stress and makes you depressed.

Everything becomes a sign of a heart attack

And the fact is fear of heart attack can plague your every waking moment. Every twinge or discomfort is monitored and seen as evidence of an impeding cardiac arrest. Racing of the heart may be seen as an impending heart attack rather than just a natural stress response.

Maybe you limit yourself and stop doing any activity at all. If you've had a heart attack then you should have had an ‘exercise test' before leaving hospital which would have determined what is a safe level of activity for you. You may have fears about resuming sexual activity.

Perhaps even medical reassurances make little difference to your fear that you are destined for another (or even a first) heart attack.

Heart attack wake up call

Having a heart attack is a wake up call that you need to change the way you live. Maybe relax more, take some exercise, eat healthily, drink more water, drink less alcohol and of course quit smoking.

For some a heart attack leads to feelings of depression, hopelessness and despair

Many people see a heart attack as a ‘second chance' to make new priorities in their life but for many it can lead to increased fear that it will happen again. To avoid further heart problems you certainly need to manage your heart health and that means acting on qualified medical advice and taking prescribed medication.

This hypnotic session focuses on the psychological aspects of heart health because fear of a heart attack can become an obsession.

Learning to manage stress
