I suffer from panic attacks that cause my heart to beat rapidly and hard. I fear that if it beats too hard and I have a fear it'll burst/explode in my chest? Is it possible for that to happen?

It is absolutely not possible for the heart to explode! Its just a way of telling the severity of symptoms.. I suggest you to visit a psychiatrist / psychologist and undergo counselling and behavioral therapy, which are considered to be the best management for panic attacks and anxiety.. All d best!
