One day I was having one in my bedroom and the next thing I knew I had 2 EMTs in my room. Evidently I had had a seizure. I don't remember any of it, but the bump on the head afterwards. They did a lot of follow up tests and found nothing wrong with me physically. I went and got some counseling to figure out why I was having panic attacks in the first place. Mainly stress and stuff. I worked on ways to calm down my stress. I have not had one in a long time now. Knock on wood. I don’t know about heart attacks, but I used to get panic attacks a lot.

The only cardiac event you might expect out of a panic attack is an arrythmia (heart beating out of rhythym), and even that is pretty rare unless you've had problems with that before. In a panic attack you essentially think your body into behaving as if it's having a heart attack or an asthma attack, but that doesn't cause one. Highly unlikely.

Stress is very damaging to the body. One panic attack is not likely to cause a heart attack but an ongoing series of panic attacks indicates a greater problem and greater stress. And the greater the ongoing stress the more likely that an actual heart attack will happen. The real issue is the ongoing level of stress. Stress is very damaging to the body.
