No: Anxiety itself doesn't cause death, but if you are not under control, you can do things that cause death - such as violence, alcohol, drugs, etc.

No: It can feel like you're dying if anxiety jumps up into a full blown panic attack. Then your heart is racing, you're breaking out into a sweat, and you feel short of breath. That's the limbic system in your brain getting you ready to fight with or run from a saber tooth tiger. Your brain thinks it's helping. The trouble is that the alarm it's sounding is a false alarm. There is alot of help avail.
