No: People having panic attacks typically feel like they're going to die, but they don't. Anxiety and panic produce many physical symptoms, and people with anxiety are usually extremely sensitive to body sensations . . . .Usually interpreting them as indicators of dire illness. Panic attacks can definitely be treated. If not already working with a psychiatrist on yours, please consider it.

NO: The cognitive and physical symptoms of a panic attack are very intense and scary, they mimic heart attack, stroke or other serious illnesses , but the good news is a panic attack will not kill you. Get help from a specialist in anxiety and the results of treatment will amaze you and change your life.
