 One possibility is that you are having anxiety attacks. These frequently will give fast heart rates and feelings as if one is going to die. Also, anxiety tends to be associated with depression.
If the attacks only happen while walking you may need to have a stress cardiac test to see what your rhythm is during the episodes. A holter monitor or event recorder may also help to capture the heart rhythm during an attack. Looking at the rhythm while the symptoms are there are the most helpful.
I would recommend talking to your doctor about some of these tests to see if they would be appropriate for you.
Best wishes.
