Fear of death
I have a fear of death, everytime I am thinking of death through any heart disease. I have done my check up and everything seems to be fine. But the thinking is trying to create some kind of anxiety in my mind. Even if I am doing some work and the thinking pops up into my brain. I am trying to stay calm as much as I can, but the thinking finds a way through it. Even when I am talking to a person about health, I am only taking the negative things out of it.

Reasons for Fear of Death. It is painful to die. I would miss this beautiful world - Despite movie scenes of oozing blood, foaming emotions and tear-jerking punch-lines; death need not necessarily be painful. First let us detach pain from death; and view death without pain. - Death Sans pain Well, ‘death without pain’ happens to all of us, roughly every 12 hours or so, when you hit the bed. As you go to sleep, your senses cut out from the rest of the world; you don’t talk to people; neither do you respond. From your internal perspective it is exactly like dying. But, the reason why your family is not alarmed is because they know that depending on where you are, the harsh alarm of your phone, the aroma of coffee or the high pitched explicit from your partner will wake you up. Supposing you don’t wake up; initial shock, some pandemonium and mandatory rituals later, you would be featured on the ‘obituary’ page, with nice things written about you, chunk of which are mostly untrue. For you, sleep and death are same; since you won’t experience the difference; but your kin and friends would. So, the bottom-line is; death won’t make you feel bad; it is exactly like sleep. You won’t be there to feel anything. As long as it is painless. - As a cardiologist, I have talked to a dozen of SCD (Sudden cardiac Death) survivors. For none of them, the ‘natural’ process was painful. Most said, they went on to a dreamy state; like drifting on to ‘sleep’. They did feel the pain, once they woke up and survived; but that pain was entirely ‘medically’ inflicted. The broken ribs resulting from cardiac massage, the burn from the defibrillator, the sore throat of endotracheal intubation; and those scores of needles and tubes plunging inside them. But once they survived; that memory of pain fade away; giving way to the joy of survival. - 200 year ago, Freidrich Wilhelm Adam Serturner discovered ‘Morphine’ the most potent painkiller, and named it after the goddess of sleep ‘Morphia’ making sure that we can alleviate even the most severe pain. This is to reiterate the fact that one should detach the fear of pain that we automatically associate with death. - End-Note. Why should you be afraid of death? It is painless. It is like Sleep. You won’t miss anyone (People might miss you but it won’t matter to you anymore). Guaranteed photograph in a local newspaper. Most people would talk good about you. The world will not stop. - This makes death the second-best option. The first one of course is life.
