Can anxiety disorder cause sudden death?

Anxiety disorders generally do not cause death or sudden death, so there is no need to be too nervous. Because anxiety disorders sometimes cause physical discomfort, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, palpitation, tachycardia, palpitations, and sometimes precordial discomfort, there may even be some precordial pain, just like myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, etc.

In severe cases, there will be difficulty breathing, a sense of squeezing, and a sense of suffocation. It may also be accompanied by strong fear and anxiety, and you may think you are going to die, which is a sense of near-death. However, the feeling of near-death can usually recover on its own, and it can get better automatically without special treatment. In particular, it can get better if you shift your attention in time and use some relaxation methods. Therefore, an acute attack of anxiety disorder can get better within a few minutes to ten minutes.

Patients with anxiety disorder worry about sudden death, mainly because of the disease itself. The disease itself makes people too anxious, such as always worrying that they will die. At the same time, some patients with anxiety disorder have a sense of impending death. It is easy to make themselves too nervous, too anxious, and afraid of sudden death. However, anxiety disorder generally does not cause sudden death, because anxiety disorder is a kind of neurosis and a mild mental illness, so don’t be too nervous.
