Hi welcome to HCM.
You seem to have post traumatic stress disorder leading to cycle of stress symptoms which you mentioned.I advise you to have a baseline ecg and 2 dimensional echo to rule out organic heart pathology.Drugs like escitalopram and clonazepam are needed in your case for 6-12 months to tide over the crises of anxiety.Regular exercise is needed.Practise yoga and stress management.In case of significant ecg changes ,antiarrhythmics are needed.Consult your cardiologist for further care.
Thank you.
