Hi There,
I think the very best thing you can do for Chessie is confine him in a room when you have company if it is at all possible. If not, then perhaps your vet can prescribe an anti-anxiety drug for Chessie. There are several different drugs available, however, with his heart problem, you would have to be extra careful with the dose. Chessie's fear of visitors is going to be a lifelong thing, I'm afraid.
If you find yourself having to move him again when he is frightened, try talking to him quietly while putting a thick towel, or even a small bathroom rug, over him. Be sure to cover his head, as this will help him to relax a little. Pick him up very gently even if he is somewhere he isn't allowed. If you are upset with him, things will only get worse. He will panic and you will be more likely to get hurt.
Regards,
PHKitkat
