It is possible for a person to get scared of a laser dot and overreact, but it is highly unlikely for that overreaction to result in a heart attack or epilepsy. The fear response triggered by the sudden appearance of a laser dot can cause a surge of adrenaline, which can increase heart rate and blood pressure. However, this reaction is not typically severe enough to cause a heart attack.
