A member asked:
Ptsd after episode of heart failure. had an echo just two weeks ago but already anxious about heart function. impossible for such a quick change?

It will take time: PTSD seems normal after a life-threatening episode. It will likely take some time and good health to reduce your anxiety level. You might try meditation, yoga, therapy, to help you find some peace.
