Why does an elevated pulse from anger/anxiety contribute towards heart problems, but during exercise a fast pulse is healthy?

I know this isn’t what you were asking, but op, I’d strongly suggest looking up some CBT strategies. I have anxiety, wich sometimes manifests as a roaring anger, and I’ve found some really good self help resources online that can help with stuff like that. meditation tools work really well to, to bring you back into the moment and out of negetive thought cycles.
