I have anxiety and panic disorder. Can it make anyone die?

I have anxiety and panic disorder. Every time when I feel bad on my mind and my body, I feel going to die (heart attact, stroke, and no energy I have). That is 1 think I scared about. Can it make anyone die?

I've lived with anxiety and panic for 7 yrs now. No, it can't make you die. But the actual physical problems that can happen if you let the anxiety go at a high rate for a length of time, can. Anxiety and Panic itself can't kill you. Although it makes you feel as if you will. Seek help, you can have meds or you can go through therapy if you don't want meds. For now, work on relaxtion techniques such as belly breathing, meditation, positive thinking. When you feel your symptoms coming on, try to busy yourself with other things; the more you focus your mind on your symptoms, the worse they seem to be. Learning to stay calm takes a lot of work and some time. If you need anymore ideas on calming techniques I am more than happy to help, I know how it feels.

Do you have high blood pressure?TRUST THE LORD a little more and some of that will go a way.

Only if you don't get help for it. Seek professional psychological help. There are meds out there that can help you with it.

It cannot make you die, yet makes you feel as if you can die. My sister also has the same disorders, and others as well. She was homebound for 9 years and is in the process of now taking baby steps. I could write a whole book about her symptoms and how she is getting herself better. please feel free to email me for any more help. triplehavoc@sbcglobal.net

To ease your fears yes it can cause you to die. But tht dsnt mean it will cause you to die. Quite often this is a self fulfilling prophsey type condition. Im afraid that I will get a head ache and therefore I do... Basically think about not thinking about it all the time.

My wife had this problem. It's all in the mind. In her case, it stemmed from a fire she was in when she was a child. Since then, she's always been fearful of not having enough air. I helped her work through it by talking to her as it was happening and reassuring her that there was plenty of air. It took awhile, but since then, she's only had 2 attacks in the past 5 years.

In all our reading together, we never came across a case where someone died from a panic attack. However, you may want to get checked to make sure there's nothing else wrong because some panic symptoms are similar to other serious conditions. Here's a good article I just found: http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/DS/003... . Google some more about it and perhaps find a group in Yahoo Groups of people in your similar situation. You'd be surprised how many people there are in your same situation and how much talking things out can help.

Take care and best of luck!

You actually feel as if you're going to die, but you're not. Most likely you are hyperventillating causing you to feel light-headed. Slowly take deep breaths. Stay aware of your surroundings and repeat to yourself, you're in control, no one knows your anxiety but you. You can handle it. See your doctor for a recommendation for a psychiatrist and psychologist. Learn coping skills from your psychologist. "Self Talk" works for me.

it's the disorder that makes you paranoid when your heart rate goes up. you should try Effexor XR. or an anti anxiety or both. don't worry & take a deep breath.

ive sufferd panic and anxiety disorder since i was 5yrs old now i am 37 and by the grace of god and the medication and talk therapy my doctor has givin me and also all the info that i have learned about panic attacks and anxiety i am still alive and well and you will be too gl and i hope you start to feel better soon.

It definitely puts a strain on your body which can lead to health problems. Counseling can help you overcome your disorder. Give it a try.

oh, it sounds terrrible. If you feel bad, it means you fall ill, take pills to keep it off. Think about good thing...

I am being treated for Anxiety and panic attacks,I beleive it can eventually kill someone, just because of the fact that stress is a killer,the health issues are endless from this problem,find the things that make you feel the anxiety and panic attacks and attempt to harness them,and then get rid of them.My personal ones are home related,some not. its a rough road and I hope you get the comfort of knowing there are alot of people who feel the way You do. please dont let it kill your spirit for life ,even through the worst of panic and anxiety , there is a reason why you are here in this life. Good Luck and Good Health

well im sorry to say but yes it can brust a important vein of brain and can make anyone die only if the anxiety is very extreme and i mean very very extreme..look dont feel like you will die take a good deep breath totally divert your mind from the bad things whenever you get this attack...you can overcome this thing by strong willingness..whenever you get this attack go to your bed take deep breaths forget about everything dont let any thing pop up in your mind..feel thinkless i mean dont think about anything..if possible take a nap..eat something tasty play video games or watch a funny show on tv...i hope you will overcome this problem real soon...

I AM APPALLED AT THESE ANSWERS......
Anxiety can not make you die. there was a few said that it can


Anxietyu is the same thing as overworry. worry cannot kill you but what it can do is cause other physical problems that are not very great. but, no...your not going to die. i have suffered with anxiety for some time and i can tell you this..if you were going to die from anxiety, you would have been dead a long time ago. the key is to realize your not going to die because of this and let go of that idea. you have programed your brain to go into a type of response at the wrong times and this is not really your fault. it just happens sometimes. what you must do is reprogram your brain by distracting it when it does this writen script you wrote a long time ago. what you will notice if you consiously distract your self with something everytime you feel stressed or anxious then the anxiety will start to go away. find out what triggeres the attacks and i know ti sounds odd but....do them. trigger the attacks and ride them out. you will be accomplishing many things. you will prove that anxiety will not kill you and you will be disarming the catalyst.

trust me meds are never the answer to anxiety. they only mask the problem. would you put a band aid on your head for depression????

You CANNOT die from a panic/anxiety attack, but you certainly want to seek treatment! There are lots of good prescription drugs out there, like Xanax, that you can take regularly or at the onset of a panic attack.
Go talk to your doctor, you really shouldn't have to suffer like that!
