My story is so similar...I was misdiagnosed for 4 months....then a finally collapsed..this is a week after the ER doc said I didn't have a PE...I developed Post Traumatic Syndrome....as a result of my near death experience...and yes..i do panic whenever i feel a strange pain...I do take medications and see a therapist to help me deal with it..and I pray on a regular basis..Good luck to you..Let me know if there are questions I can answer for you
