Hi,
Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, panic attacks are unpredictable and are not associated with heart disease. Often the patient has to have this proven with a stress test and this is then followed by cognitive behavioral therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
