I'm wondering though, if the question is Do people die from a "Panic Attack" vs "Stress" in general.
My mother was a nervous person and she also ate okay, but maybe not the best choices in her day. But never was a smoker or drinker. Didn't drink coffee or caffeinated pop. Not much soda pop at all, but she liked her sweets and bread.
She walked occasionally but worked as a School Nurse, so was sedentary.
She was a nervous person and worried a lot. She eventually passed from a stroke at the age of 86 due to a stroke that paralyzed her throat and affected her frontal lobe. So she was on Morphine for 10 days before she passed on.
She had already had a couple of other strokes that affected her left leg and arm. But rehab brought her back to somewhat functional, just to have her fall and break her hip. Which was probably onset of osteo porosis. She ended up with short term memory loss in these later years as well. Didn't remember her sister dying even though she was there for that and her grandson death while at his funeral. All very sad.
I'm hoping to not follow in her footsteps as I've had a few Aunts and Grandfather on my father's side have strokes in their old age. They don't smoke or drink either, but did put on the lbs in their later years.
They did die in their 80's if that makes a difference.

Morning Jerry
As always very interesting post
It seem's that people who deals with stress (anxiety) experience problems in having good and proper life style, like eating habits or sleep paterns and dwell on the problems.
All of wich can contribute to having a stroke, since I'm talking of experience...meaning that I had a stroke (heart attack) back in 2007 for me there is no confusion at all when it comes to knowing what brought it on, smoking was a major contributor (did I stop...I've tried) as for eating well I had to make a few ''minor'' adjustments, being diabetic and all.
But I will say this anyone who lives under continuous stress (anxiety) is in my view a good candidate for a stroke its a easy equation.
Have a good one
