What you read is not dealing with panic
attacks. It is dealing with cases of
intense fear. This can lead to death as
the heart stops or a lethal cardiac rhythm
occurs and death follows. Panic attacks do
not cause death, only the sense of doom
and despair.

I have never had a panic attack, I just
suffer with generalized anxiety
disorder/depression 24/7. I feel like I
am losing my mind and feel like I am about
to die. Nobody has been able to help to
this point. I am still seaching. This is
something new to me, always being
mental/physically healthy until now. I am
sorry you are going through this, I guess
we just have to keep fighting until we can
find a solution.

It's true. Panic attacks may very well
make you feel like you're gonna die, along
with the physical sensations and mental
sensations, but you won't. Ever.

You can be "scared to death". It happens.
For instance- such as when a person is
buried alive and trying to claw their way
out of a casket. The person literally dies
of fear before they even lose oxygen.
It's a pretty far fetched idea, but you
can die from a panic attack. But only if
you let it kill you.

I read the articles and antigone said the
same thing-
the articles are talking about dying from
intense fear. That is different than a
panic attack.
