Heart stopping?

[rodeogurl09]

I all of a sudden have this fear of my heart stopping. I have anxiety pretty bad, I worry about everything and look things up constantly. And I keep thinking theres something wrong with my heart and I feel like it's going to stop all the time. Like it beats really slow then fast and then skips beats. I went to the Dr and he said my heart is healthy. How do I stop thinking about my heart beat? It's so uncomfortable and it freaks me out :( I have GAD so it's really hard to control what I think, feel, and fear. No one seems to understand. Help please? Are there any breathing exercises I can do? I really just want this heart crap to go away so I can feel better. I don't want to keep focusing on how my heart rate is and I'm checking my blood pressure every hour. It's getting insane to the point where I'm scared to move and do things because I'm scared its just going to stop beating. Please help. And I also just got told I can have a heart attack!?!?! So now I'm REALLY FREAKING OUT. I was also taking Ativan for 3 weeks, and can't get anymore til a few more days (ER prescribed them temporarily, going to my first therapist on the 6th) And I'm going crazy without them because they helped tremendously. Just please give me some kind of advice on how to stop these crazy thoughts? The more I think about it the more it worsens and I can't calm down! And this is all anxiety right? I've been to the Dr and they found nothing. ALL tests came back normal. My heart is healthy but I fear there is something wrong still. Please help... :( :( :(
