Dear Ricky
I am not sure why you think it is your heart in the first place. It is unlikely that a 29 year old would have significant coronary artery disease, unless there were several risk factors or a family history. Smoking cessation would be a good idea and might help. Maybe you should look into getting treatment for your panic attacks.
I hope this has been useful. I wish you the best of luck.
