Hey man I know how you feel. Honestly the only way I was able to get over the feeling of dying was to realize that no matter how many times I feared about it I woke up every morning despite my anxiety towards the issue. Focus on the things that make you happy.Big or small. When you feel these thoughts creeping back just stop and calm yourself by taking slow deep breathes reminding yourself about how you've worried about this problem before but always woke up. Same thing goes for your sleep troubles, just try to remind yourself you *will*  wake up on the morning and continue living your life. I understand it seems cliche but this simple thought process gets easier each day you wake up, and everyday you do you get one step closer to realizing that you'll be just fine.

You need to start addressing the anxiety and panic to try to undo the thinking processes that are scaring you.  Anxious thinking is a big cycle that needs to be broken.  We have a scary thought/event, etc...and it causes us to panic...even if the event or thought was not actually a REAL threat...only perceieved in our minds.  The feelings of panic and anxiety are equally, if not moreso frightening than the original trigger that brought on anxiety...so therefore, we start to worry incessantly about having it happen again.  Sadly, with anxiety, the more we worry about it, the more we subconsciously trigger it to recur.  It often takes people professional help to learn how to break that cycle and retrain our thinking.  Some turn to Rx meds, some herbal supplements, meditation, lifestyle changes, etc.  Point is...there IS help for this.  The sooner you start diving in and dealing with it, the better.

My suggestion to you is to see a psychiatrist.  Not only will he/she be able to give you a proper diagnosis to see what you're dealing with (rule an anxiety disorder in or out), but he/she will also be able to lay out your treatment options.  Therapy is a vital part of any treatment modality.  It will teach you all about anxiety, it's causes, triggers....how it is unique to YOU and also help you to learn priceless coping techniques that you will be able to utilize anytime these symptoms come up....now and in the future.

Let us know how you';re doing.  Death is inevitable for us all...BUT.....chances are you are not dying or going to die any time soon....rather, you are scared and the anxiety is causing you to worry inappropriately about something that is not realistic at this point in your life.
