Its difficult to accept that it is anxiety or stress. The brain is so powerful that we believe it has to be something else. I have been going through this for over 20 years. I just tell myself that I'm not going to die soon. Another day comes and go and I'm still here. You will get through this. This forum helps. Good luck

I was just typing the words "I feel like I'm going to die" when I chance by your forum. And it's such a relief for me that I am not alone with this one. My father died of COPD at the age of 64 and my mom died of internal bleeding in her digestive tract at the age of 62. And I used to say, I have a lifespan of 63 (getting the average of my folks's age when they died). May of last year, I was diagnosed of hypertension and I had been taking maintenance since then. However, this fear of me dying anytime soon started around December of last year, and unfortunately I still feel the same way. I busied myself dieting and doing some everyday exercise. I also have to convince myself (almost everyday) that none of my family died of heart attack (at least most of them passed away pass retiring age). My dad's older sister just celebrated her 90th birthday and my mom's sister too is age 88. I wish everyday, to reach those age. But everyday, I feel I will die anytime of heart attack. This is stressing me hard. By the way, I am only 40.

You are not alone. I've been living with anxiety for over 10 years. It started when I found out I had cancer. I survived it and thought life would continue and it did continue with anxiety and feeling everyday that I'm going to die. Some days are great, some days are bad. Waiting on labs, test, etc is really bad. I understand what you are feeling.

I'm thinking I took that and I had the heart palpitations for 3 days. What is the real name of that medication so I can check to be sure. Since I took that, it's made me scared to take another for my anxiety. 😩

Like others have said you are definitely not alone. I suffer from severe Anxiety, Stress, PTSD and Depression. I have for years but only got really bad after my son passed away. I've been to more doctors and ER's than I can count and the test always come back clean. I don't fear death itself I only have a fear of having heart attack (Weird I know) but it has affected my life really bad. I'm a 28 year old single father to a princess. I stay very active. Heart disease does not run in my family, my EKG's and X-rays always come back fine. I just don't understand it, one moment I will be laying on the couch watching tv relaxed the next I start having a really bad panic attack. One thing that seems to help a little bit is writing about it. At first I would just pick up a pin and paper and write some stuff down but it has turned into a book in progress. I'm no doctor or a famous writer but I hope my book will help others like us. Another thing that helps is having someone to talk to that goes through the same thing. I would be willing to give my email to any of you if you ever just want someone to talk to. I know how terrible this disease is, I would not wish it on anyone. Good luck to you Josy0405. I truly hope things get better and that goes for the rest of you.

I get like this so many times right out of no where can be lying in bed , working, with the family and all of a sudden get this sudden over bearing feeling of sudden death. It take control right then and there. I then have this urge to run for help. It's scary and I wish I could overcome it. I feel for you cause it's like we can't be normal because of the fear of anxiety and what it does to us mental/physical. I wish you luck and hope you get better.

Hey Josy, I see where this was written about a year ago..I just wanted to check with you and see if you have any encouraging words. I feel like I've mostly gotten my anxiety under control but I've been super sick this week and when I'm sick or around my period my anxiety shoots through the roof and all I keep thinking is that I'm going to die soon. I hate this haunting feeling and I'm hoping you could give me some advice thanks..

You can't believe everything you read. I have felt the same way but guess what I'm ok and you're ok. Stop overthinking and do things that make you happy. Slow down and concentrate on being happy. You and I have to understand we can't control every aspect of our lives and we only need to worry about what we can control.

I feel the exact same way. After having my first panic attack about a year ago, i am afraid of dying in my sleep or dying suddenly. I have weight loss surgery coming up & i have to do an in depth medical evaluation. Labs, bariatric xray, ekg...and im terrified that they will find something wrong with me. Even though i have no symptoms. Ugh. Hate this.
