I was surprised how much the article resonated with my personal experience. I too had anxiety attacks and ER visit fearing it was a heart disease. Many (too many) doctor visits later, here is what works the best for me: - Exercise. Can not stress this enough. I swim 3 times a week for about 45 minutes each. It loosens my body and significantly elevates anxiety. Strength exercise helps too. - Healthy diet. Minimum sugar, alcohol, caffein, processed foods. - Lunch walks, weekend hikes. - Standing desk. Don't have enough data yet but I think it was helpful overall. As someone mentioned below, I believe too that body tensions and pains have a lot to do with sitting too much. - Enough sleep.
