Probably not, but: I you don't learn ways to manage this anxiety through therapy and/or medication, you may feel like you are having one. See your provider for solid reassurance about your cardiac health, then ask for a referral to a psychotherapist who can work w/ you on this. It possible to find relief. Best wishes!
