Anxiety doesn’t always announce itself as fear. Sometimes it feels like illness — like the body is warning you that something is about to break. In this first episode of Science of Mind, I share the story of a man who lived for years believing his heart was failing him. His pulse raced. His blood pressure spiked. He rushed to urgent care again and again — only to hear the same words: “Your heart is fine.” What finally changed was not a new medicine or a new test — but one insight that named the hidden fear underneath the symptoms.
