I'm really worried about my father. He had coronary thrombosis last January and seemed to recover well, but this morning he's having severe chest pain. The doctor recommended Isordil 5 for intense pain, but it hasn't helped at all. Can you offer some advice on what we should do next?

I'm really worried about whether cardiophobia could actually lead to a heart attack. I've been dealing with this fear since last year. I did a TMT test back then, and everything came back normal, but I'm still having chest pain and feeling really fatigued. Should I be concerned about these symptoms?

"Cardiophobia, which is the fear of heart disease, can cause symptoms such as chest pain and fatigue due to anxiety and stress. It is important to manage your anxiety to alleviate these symptoms. In your case, since you have already done a TMT test last year which was normal, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart attack. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for a proper evaluation and management plan. In the meantime, you can consider taking an anxiolytic medication such as lorazepam at a low dose of 0.5mg to help with your anxiety symptoms."

How do you stop a heart attack immediately?

Acting quickly can save lives. If given quickly after symptoms, clot-busting and artery-opening medications can stop a heart attack, and having a catheterization with a stent put in may open a closed blood vessel. The longer you wait for treatment, the more chances of survival go down and damage to the heart goes up.
