Visible heartbeat during panic attack?

I know that panic attacks can cause heart palpitations but i was wondering if anyone else experiences pounding heart which is easily visible on the chest and upper abdomen during a panic attack? Im afraid that my heart wont handle beating so hard and fast. I read that too much fear can actually kill you. I can also hear my heart beating in my ears which causes more panic since i am aware that is accelerating.

I definitely experience these intense palpitations that you describe however to be safe you should see your doctor and have an EKG...may want to have some blood work done to and try some anxiety medication --i've had the symptoms since I was in fourth grade and I'm 35 now and without anxiety medicine my life would not be the same anxiety is a real thing with real symptoms so make an appointment with your doctor
