When i go out i had a intense fear to had a heart attack and fall dead BUT only beacause a reason: Fear of greatness of planet and universe...

When i go out and see the blue sky and mountain (in my city have) i noticed and became full of fear with the greatness of planet and how little i are.... only in my room i can stay with calm... i don't use buss anymore and don't go without need to the bakery....

Even look maps make me feel bad about this.... When i notice how great is the planet i feel pain, mess in my brain, intense anxiety...

Essentially, you need to find calm in this world.
It is a strange feeling. Maybe you should practice a little bit of meditation. And now I'll explain why:

You said you are afraid of the greatness of the world, the infinite possibilities hidden in the universe we live in; well, why not trying some meditation? Indeed, you may learn from session to session (even 10-15 minutes per day is enough) to be at ease with your spirit and to learn to feel the world and yourself as a unique thing.
By practicing meditation or any other relaxation technique, you can reach the situation in which you feel the entire nature surrounding you without being afraid of its greatness.

Meditation has helped me a lot in overcoming Agoraphobia (even if in my case it was not fear of the universe but fear of people themselves).

Let me know what do you think and let me know if you have ever practiced meditation in your life.
