Fear of death is totally normal, but constantly interpreting symptoms as signs of death is not. I think that you might want to ask for help from a psychologist to sort out the biological from the mental. It's possible that your mind is creating psycho-somatic symptoms that manifest and mimic real symptoms of disease.
