Nightmares/PTSD: Sounds like you have legitimate anxiety and perhaps even post traumatic stress. Recommend seeing a mental health provider and seeking counseling to help you deal with this very traumatic event you survived.

Nightmares: A terrible experience like that can cause ptsd- post traumatic stress disorder. Probably the best thing you can do to help the nightmares is to see a psychiatrist or psychologist.
