Juliet's fears, as revealed in her soliloquy in Act 4 Scene 3, include the following:

Doubting whether she can trust Friar Lawrence: She is unsure if the potion he gave her will actually work or if it might be poison intended to kill her so he won't be dishonored by their plan.
-
Waking up too early and suffocating to death: She fears that she might wake up in the tomb before Romeo comes to rescue her and suffocate to death.

Being surrounded by her dead ancestors: She is terrified of the idea of waking up in the Capulet tomb surrounded by the bodies of her deceased relatives, including Tybalt.
These fears highlight the extreme measures Juliet is willing to take to avoid marrying Paris and to be with Romeo instead.
