A member asked:
Could you die from extreme pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Severe, unremitting pain may cause loss of consciousness which of course ends the sensation until the sufferer awakens. While it is a common issue in novels and movies, extreme pain is unlikely by itself to be lethal. It depends mostly on the cause for the extreme pain which can cause changes and damage producing pain but also leading to lethality.
