Time Travel in Medicine | When Reassurance is Not Enough

What happens when medical reassurance does not relieve anxiety after a low-risk chest-pain evaluation? In this episode of *Time Travel in Medicine*, Professor Dr. Bankole Johnson examines the relationship between persistent anxiety, physical symptoms, and repeated concerns about heart health. He explores why reassurance alone may not always be enough and how structured psychological care may help people better understand and manage ongoing fear. This evidence-focused discussion highlights the importance of addressing both physical symptoms and emotional well-being while avoiding unnecessary assumptions about the cause of chest pain.
