Can my panic attacks kill me?

I ask this because ever since my anxiety has gotten worse, it's taken over my life a little. Nowadays, I worry about walking a distance outside myself because I worry that my panic attacks might set off, causing my heart rate is constantly increase and go out of control leading to a heart attack. I don't have a heart condition but it still freaks me out! It's like my body is always focused on my heart to make sure nothing goes wrong. I don't know what to do and I don't want to live like this! What can I do?

No, it won't kill you, but if you continue to think like this it can become a chronic way of living.  Might be time to see a psychologist who specializes in treating anxiety disorders.
