Hello and hope you are doing well.

You could ask for a cardiac stress test, this will test the heart under stress. Sometimes a routine EKG does not pick up changes due to angina.  And if this is normal you could be more assured there is no cardiac problem. The imbalance can sometimes be due to neurological disorders.Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

As we said: You have cardiac neuroses. If you Google it, you will read plenty about the condition and solution.
You are healthy, nothing wrong with your heart! You need to relax. So your answer is there: learn how to relax, no one can do that for you, but you could!!
You are living in the famous India, I am sure you can get lots of knowledgeable people in different yoga schools you can fallow if you want master  the wonderful life changing yoga. Yoga breathing then all up the way to self-realization. (We on the other side of the world could learn all only from books and tapes, no complain that’s a good way also.)
Good luck!
Remember what they say: Sometimes we can’t see the forest from the tree.

Also practicing yoga you would learn not to be afraid anymore from a dead body: A body only a temporarily home for a soul.

Vienna is right, the term for your condition is cardiac neuroses and it is very common. Here's an interesting article about it from the National Institute of Health;

You don’t need a second opinion. You are suffering from cardiac neurosis. Your phobia has nothing to do with a real existing heart condition.  Self control or if you can’t then you need a psychiatrist.

Hi there,

We would love to try and help you, but first you need to be more specific about the heart tests that the Doctor did.  And what are your exact symptoms that are making you anxious?
