Can you die from a panic attack?

No — despite feeling life-threatening, panic attacks are not fatal. The intense symptoms are caused by your nervous system's fight-or-flight response misfiring. They typically peak within 10 minutes and pass completely. Knowing this during an attack provides genuine relief. If unsure whether you are having a panic attack or a cardiac event, seek emergency care. Lovon provides support for the anxiety that underlies panic attacks, helping you build resilience and calm between episodes.
