    Can it killl you?  No!  Can it actually cause real medical conditions if you do not take care of it  Yes!

    Hi, billie:  No, a true anxiety attack won't kill you, however, stress of any kind is not good for your body.  You don't say how old you are, but I would suggest you see a doctor and get on the right meds for anxiety/depression.  It is a living hell to not know when you are going to have a panic attack, and pure hell when you do.  There are ways of trying to relax, using different techniques...Stress, over time, can do so much damage, so take care and find a good doctor who will work with you on this.....Hope this helps...

      I know exactly what you mean, billie...Panic is horrible and I've had it most of my life..I am now 67, so do the math, sweetie...I've had a lot of great times, and I've had a lot of scary times....You might ask your doctor about a beta blocker to stop your pulse from racing. The doctor may think you are too young, but mine gave me one, along with Xanax to calm me down, when, in fact, I nothing to be scared of...I was afraid of my own thoughts....I hope this helps, sweetie...
