Is it normal to worry about my heart rate?
I've always been really skinny, and heart problems don't really run in the family, but I watched this horrible video of a man having a heart attack when I was little, and ever since then, I've been terrified of my own heart. I have a nervous habit of checking my heart rate and pulse constantly, and feel like I'm going to have a heart attack if it starts to beat fast.
I actually asked my fiance to call an ambulance one time after smoking weed. It's bad.
How do I overcome this? And how abnormal is it? I'm okay with my phobia of stinging insects, but being afraid of something inside of me is a real problem.
