Sounds like you're having some panic mixed in with your thinking. Chest pain and shortness of breath are key indicators of panic; however, I'm not a doc, so you should consider consulting one. As for fear of death, welcome to the human condition. In my experience very few of us move beyond a fear of death. It's the great unknown, that unsolvable mystery that we all will face. And none of us knows when we'll face it. I do know that the few who do and live to tell about it say death has lost its sting for them.

That's comforting to me.

Sounds suspiciously similar to panic attacks that I once suffered with as a child. I was dealing with the knowledge of my sister being sexually abused by our dad and was fearful living in my own home. It caused me to panic each time I went to bed thinking about any and all fears. I couldn't breathe, felt a heavy weight upon my chest etc... very similar to your situation. Have you tried, in the moment, stopping what you are doing and focus on deep breathing rather than allowing the fears to run rampant? It can really help. I read a GREAT book called, "The Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer, she speaks about having the ability to control what you think about. You really can "change" your mind and go in a healthy direction if you want to. I highly recommend this book! You can find it on Amazon or just a google search will show up where to find it. I understand what you are going through too, I've faced many deaths in the past 10 years and it can really do a number on your fears and worry and anxiety. I find GREAT comfort in prayer to the God who sees all, knows all and is able to comfort me in every situation of life. I pray you will seek Him too. You are not alone. There is hope and help.
