can stress and anxiety do damage to the heart?
I have had constant stress and aniexty for months now. More and more recently it feels like my heart is being stretched and sometimes it feels like my chest itself is being stretched. When it finally goes away I become so tired that I need to sleep.
I take ativan for anxiety but I have so many things to do during the day that I cannot really take it. Breathing exercises tend to annoy me.

Stress is a bad thing overall to your body. To answer your question directly--YES. You need to get some mental health help to help control your anxiety. There are a myriad of medicines out there now that will help you control anxiety without the side effects associated with ativan. Get mental health now as it is so important--your body is telling you so.

Not unless you have a pre existing heart ailment. If it raised your blood pressure and cholesterol, over time it could be a problem. Otherwise it will not damage the heart.
