TOO ANXIOUS TO GO OUT

QEarlier this year, my twin brother had a heart attack and died. It came as a huge shock as he had always been so fit and health conscious, and it has left me feeling vulnerable and incredibly anxious about my own health. I barely go out as I’m so frightened the same thing will happen to me.

APlease see your GP about this. Firstly, they will want to check your blood pressure and cholesterol and manage any medical risk factors with medication or lifestyle changes to reduce your chances of developing heart disease yourself. But secondly, they will help you with your anxiety so that you can get your life back and enjoy going out again.
