It is okay to ask for help. And do be ashamed to do it.

I have a masters degree in Psychology. Learned never to try to self-diagnose me or family. It would be subjective not objective.

I had read a lot about PTSD. My wife was diagnosed with anxiety/panic disorder several years ago. Until I had a panic attack after developing PTSD, I never knew what she was feeling. I have become very empathetic now about her panic attacks.

PTSD is a response to traumatic events. I had one and gave my personal experience with it. I had the same feeling and issues you did. I hope that sharing my personal experience with this helped.

Thank you., you have definitely helped me. I was a clinical psychologist and, as you say, it is not possible to be objective when dealing with your own issues. I am going to get some help somehow, anxiety doesn't help the Afib at all and the horror of recurring memories of ITU is too hard to face alone. Bless you
