No, you got the treatment of choice in that setting and that is called cardioversion. It should not have any permanent effect on your heart function and you will develop acute heart failure if the heart rate can't be reversed. I think that horrible high heart rate which we call tachyarrhyhmia is the reason you think you have a panic disorder not the other way around.

During a panic attack is it ok for my heart rate to be high Sometimes I go up to 140-160 on my fitbit but today I actually checked it on my pulse ox and it was 176. It freaked me out even more.. it slowly came down as I calmed down. Can this kill me?
