Contrary to how it might feel at the time, anxiety attacks by themselves are not fatal. They can, however, trigger cardiovascular episodes in people who are prone to them, and also acute Asthma attacks.
The big danger is that the limited options faced by people who have developed severe anxiety issues will destroy their health in terms of lack of exercise, poor eating habits, and the other limitations that the disorder can impose. That is a major reason why treatment is so important.
