Episode 10 — When the Panic Comes Back

That moment when the panic hits again — out of nowhere — is one of the hardest parts of recovering after a heart attack. You think you’re doing better… and suddenly your chest tightens, your breathing changes, and your mind jumps straight to fear.

In this episode, I’m talking honestly about those moments:

• What they feel like
• Why they happen (even months after your event)
• What I’ve learned about managing them
• And the tools that help me calm my system before it spirals

If you’ve ever felt ashamed, embarrassed, or frustrated when the fear comes back, this one’s for you. You’re not going backwards. And you’re definitely not alone.

Take a breath. Tune in. Let’s walk through it together.
