Anybody suffer from this? Everytime i think about dying or the thought of being dead i get all tense, and a knott in my stomach.

Yes and that's completely understandable but do realize there are people younger than you that think about it all the time and can't sleep or eat from thinking about it! Its not easy but you can over come it. I say this as someone who has defeated almost every symptom of anxiety without any meds thank GOD!

Anxiety sufferers tend to fear the unknown  and death is certainly unknown we fear when n where we will have or next anxiety/panic attack I used to cringe for someone to come and tell me that someone had died I'd begin to think when n where n how for me so I'd get the racey heart n shortness of breath and off to the er I would go because I though I was dying so the what helped me is to live moment for moment n stop thinking so far ahead I was planning a trip for my family which was months away and @ tat time I started wondering what if I don't make it til then I was awful with this!
