I'm feeling really tense and I'm worried it might cause a heart attack. I feel weak and lazy, but everything else seems normal. I'm currently out of town for work. Should I be concerned?

Stress and tension can contribute to an increased risk of heart attack, especially if it is chronic and not properly managed. To help alleviate your symptoms and reduce the risk of complications, you can consider taking a medication like Propranolol (40mg) to help with anxiety and physical symptoms. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and getting regular exercise can also be beneficial.
