Can panic/anxiety attacks kill you? if i think about my heart rate i can raise my blood pressure to 140/95 and my heart rate can get well passed 100+

No: Even though it might feel like it and very scary, you won't die from a panic attack. However, it's important to get treatment from your family doctor or psychiatrist, as it is not pleasant to be living with panic attacks.
