Panic and Ventricular Tachycardia

[AnxiousGirl1]

This is probably fairly silly but I just wondered if panic can cause ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation? During panic obviously your heart rate increases. I am just wondering if your heart can increase so much that it can go into ventricular tachy/fib?

This is a variation of more or less the same question you asked in you other thread.

Your body isn't stupid enough to kill itself while it's in a state designed to protect itself, remember?
