<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi, My husband 52 just died of from the widow maker. He never had any symptoms. He did smoke, but other than that he was not overweightand I miss him terribly. Can a spouse grieve so much they can die from a broken heart?Mine feels like it is going to explode. I started having anxiety attacks and panic attacks  <response>: It is sad to hear that. My sympathies are with you. The anxiety and panic symptoms are normal bereavement reaction after such a huge loss. I would advise you to keep yourself strong. Develop strength to face the situation. Start visiting friends, social meetings and whatever you can to divert your attention from there. I know its easier said than done, but reality has to be faced. Do not take medications for depression at present. Just strengthen your coping power. Thanks.
