Have you ever felt like ... you were sprinting for 5 minutes but you weren't? You were sitting in a car and your heart started beating abnormally?

I don't know if panic attacks can cause heart attacks, but I know that panic attacks make the heart feel like it's having a heart attack. And I know that panic attack sounds like you're panicking, and anxiety attack is more accurate.

I also know it doesn't feel like an attack, it just feels like you're going to die. So for simplicity's sake, let's just say, sometimes we feel like everything is falling apart. Or. Like we're going to die.

But I don't think any one has ever died from feeling like they're going to die. Of course we can't ask the people that do, but it's something we should note. Every one who ever felt like they were going to die, said they felt like they were going to die while they were alive, so they didn't die.

-- And I don't mean the premonition kind of dying one day. I mean sitting in a car coming back from the movie theatre and saying to your cousin "Dogg ... pull over," and him responding "Why, what's wrong?" "I don't know, I feel like I'm gonna faint, and my heart is going crazy."

He didn't believe me because I always fake heart attacks. Oh wait. NO I DON'T. THANK YOU SPACE-DERT MAKE YOUR FACE HURT SHANK YOU IN THE FACE WITH A RAZOR AND SLICE THE UPPER LAYER OF YOUR EPIDERMIS WITH A LASER.

So feeling like you're going to die. If no one has died from it ... why are we medicating it?
