get the heart attack feeling

Brother, what? Are you made of paper? Will an errant breeze threaten to blow you away?

Like, prefer whatever communication method you want, but really? Heart attack feeling? Come on, there's no way you're even coming close to jumping over a phone call.

And if you are, do you understand how to put your phone on vibrate/silent? This is such a non-issue

Some people have really bad anxiety especially around phone calls. Sometimes anxiety or a panic attack can feel like a heart attack.

It's just hyperbole exhaustion at this point, probably. I don't mind it occasionally when making a point, but when it's wild hyperbole every time all the time, it's hard to trust what anyone says is even remotely true.
