Can one die from pain?

Question

Is it possible that a human or any other creature can die from pain? I googled and found different answers. Some articles say Yes while others say No.

Answer 1

Hi,

Yes you can die from pain. There is a know phenomenon called "Broken Heart Syndrome" where stressful situations such as the death of a loved one cause you to develop a heart condition that ultimately kills you. Most cases reverse with time, but some lead to further complications including low blood pressure, backup of fluid in the lungs, and heart failure.
