Partially true. Basically in a panic attack your body is illiciting it's fight or flight response with no true reason behind it. Might kill you if you have a dodgy ticker to begin with, but usually don't leave you dead. I've had 'em before pretty bad, I wouldn't say I was gonna die. Worst that happened is I rolled up in a ball and cried. (SHUT UP! NOT FUNNY! ;_; )

Man, I remember having a panic attack once. I was just sitting there in class, taking notes, when I suddenly couldn't even move my pencil because pretty much all of the worries I had been having for the past month flooded into me at once. I was just sitting there with the pencil in my hand, staring at the page for about fifteen minutes of class completely freaking out inside of my head. Apparently none of my friends noticed, since they were all sitting around me and didn't say anything, but holy shit did it scare the crap out of me.
Now I'm always worried that it might just happen out of nowhere again and it seems like there's nothing I can do about it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
