cardiophobia and sexual life

How can a person with strong cardiophobia return to a normal sexual life? Your heart beats still remain your most important concern and you can't focus on a normal relationship. You can't tell your girlfriend "please wait till my heart beats become normal", this is very irritating.

So bottom line is the fear of dying and if it wasnt your heart worry it would be something else. Maybe get involved more with spiritual things as usually the fear of death comes from an imbalance of being too earthly. Try praying and thank God for your life. Thank God for not being sick, thank God for other people, thank God for all the opportunities. Dont focus on yourself but keep in mind that some people, somewhere in the world, at this very moment, are in dire need.

All the medical part is ok, but that's the problem, I can't get control of my thinking. The fear of dying from a heart attack while performing a physical action remains high, so I am obliged to pull back.

I understand that this is completely normal, but when it comes to physical actions, my heart rate takes control over my positive thoughts and I pull back.
I have talked to some doctors about this problem, but I haven't got a clear answer. Actually I'm not in any counseling about my anxiety, I've been some times before, but it hasn't helped me a lot.

Have an EKG to rule out any real problems. If all the medical is ok then get control of your thinking. Do you have a fear of dying?

Your heart rate will rise during sex and this is completely normal. Have you talked to your Dr about this phobia? Are you in any counseling to help with your anxiety?
