I developed the same thing (though later - in my 20's)!. After lots of hospital checks over many years, I found help/advice from many doctors helped - eg: 1!. If you drink a lot of fizzy drinks/caffeinated drinks, stop! You may, like me, be allergic to caffeine, which can cause dreadful and distressing symptoms, both physical and mental!. Make sure your diet is healthy with lots of fruit/veg!.
2!. Try a simple version of meditation (find techniques on-line) & do it every day!.
3!. Ask your family questions to find out WHY this started (you say at about 6 years old)!. What happened then to make you frightened you might die!? Did you lose a grand-parent or other close family member!? Were you made to view the body!? If you can find a reason, then at least you will know why you have this fear!.
4!. Fill your life with other, simpler things to worry about!.
5!. Every day, write a list of at least 5 things you have to be thankful about (No 1 every day would be "I am alive")!.
By the way - if your heart rate goes up to only 98 when you are stressed, then you are pretty healthy! 120 is what is considered reasonable to keep fit!. 150 or over would be worrying!.!.!.!.

I've had the same thing happen to me (the heart thing), only in my case it happened when I was abusing stimulants!. I knew I was supposed to be OK and what was causing it, but I couldnt control my fear of dying from it!. It's caused from anxiety, you might consider seeing a psychiatrist for anti-anxiety medications or behavioral help!.!.!. i know that when I had them they were true behavioral emergencies and if I had them on a normal day to day basis I could not function normally or preferentially, which seems to be your case!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take your mind of dying and look at the good side of life!. If you think of other people distress, it will help you to calm down and relax!. Im not saying that other peoples distrss is good, im just trying to think of an example!. And let me tell you won't die that fast!.

Surrender your life and your fears to Jesus Christ!.

think of happy things life is to short to live in regret you should think of flowers or things like thatWww@Answer-Health@Com

There is a quote from the movie, The Kingdom, "You know, Westmoreland made all of us officers write our own obituaries during Tet, when we thought The Cong were gonna end it all right there!. And, once we clued into the fact that life is finite, the thought of losing it didn't scare us anymore!. The end comes no matter what, the only thing that matters is how do you wanna go out, on your feet or on your knees!? I bring that lesson to this job!. I act, knowing that someday this job will end, no matter what!. You should do the same!."

Basically, death will eventually come no matter what!. Sorry to disappoint, but that's life!. There is no avoiding it and there is no sense in worrying about something that's going to happen!. All you can do is find solace in the little things that bother you and just live your life!.

Besides, you'll find it ironic that worrying about your death can cause death, so it's not helping!. Just be happy and remember that life's too short to be so serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You really shouldn't worry about death!. Think about when you bite your tongue or stub your toe; you do it, then a very small time after it your ego experiences it and lets you know that it hurts and whatever!. It's the same with death!. Your ego will never have chance to experience it because of the delay!. People spend their whole lives worrying about something which they will never experience!. Ever in a car accident when you know you're going to crash your ego will still be there convincing you that although the situation is bad, you will be OK!.
Don't worry about your death because you wont notice it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh my God!
That happened to me!.
After my Grandpa died!. He died February 26th 2006!.
The year after I couldn't sleep, I couldn't think straight!. I was thinking of how I'm going to die!. It was AWFUL!.
I would run to my parents room and I would have to stay there til I was so tired!.
I would start doing Yoga, its very calming and clears the mind!.
Do you have a job!? If you do not you should get one!. Keep your mind OFF OF THE THOUGHT!.
Get a pet, they keep you busy!. Get a boyfriend, and stay busy with him!.

Ok I was thinking about how every year you feel it!.
Did someone in your life die!? I was looking online at that and it could be a ghost haunting you!. I'm not some sort of religious person who sees the dead and hooie balouie stuff!.
Get really busy with your life!.
Ok right now I want you to find places to sign up for yoga or other sort of classes!. Then I want you to look into adopting a dog at your local shelter!.
Then I want you to try to get a boyfriend!. Date him for a while, then at some point he will propose get married have kids!. Your life will be to busy to think about dying!.
Hope that helped!.
Do what I just said up there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
