__**CAN YOU DIE OF TOO MUCH PHYSICAL OR MENTAL PAIN?**__

Answer the question below, append new answers to the top of this page. _ __Response 1:__ You can not die from pain itself but you can die from reactions in the body that it may trigger. An example of this would be an heart attack, some people have heart attacks when they are under stress. This could be caused by a large amount of pain on the body or just simply mental stress that makes the heart pump too fast for the body to handle. Pain can also cause shock in someone and if it is not treated they will die. Mental pain or stress will affect you body physiclly with head aches and so on, that will be most likely turn into strokes and so on. So in short pain it self can not kill you it is how your body reacts to it or what it triggers.
