Hii
It's nothing like medication makes your anxiety worse. It actually gets you out of it.
But if you are apprehensive take initial counseling session with me or any psychologist and learn to manage your anxiety and these thoughts on your own

Hello greetings!! You seem to have fear of death with no obvious reasons which itself is due to anxiety caused by preoccupation of getting sick or about death! Medications are available to treat this condition and has helped a number of people to lead a normal and happier life. Medication does not worsen. Usual course when u take any ssri s is that on the first week there will be a sudden improvement and on the following week u may face a minor worsening in response which recovers twice as fast as the first week. If your anxiety worsens a little than first week it means drugs have started working. Don't worry
