One thing doesn't necessarily lead to the other. It isn't a foregone conclusion that someone with health anxiety is going to go on to experience panic attacks. Panic attacks are usually caused because someone is under stress and panic attacks can be one of the ways their body response.

Of course if you already have health anxiety and it causes you stress then it is perfectly reasonable that panic attacks may occur...but again, I have to stress, that they may not.

I hope this comes across as helpful!
