He died in my arms as I was putting him to bed after an open heart surgery. IT was so sudden, I tried to do CPR until the ambulance arrived but was not able to bring him back. This has been one month ago. I am having frequent nightmares of the episode and I wake up screaming. I am experienceing symptoms of panic/anxiety off and on during the day. It is interfering with my daily life and my job. I feel like I am going crazy. I am a nurse, so this is bothering the way I perform. I am not sure I can ever do CPR on anyone again without seeing my dad's face and reliving the event. I doubt my ability and decision making now. I know that the shortness of breath, nausea, panic, feelings of fear and lightheadedness are all symtoms and very real, but I have had one heart attack in the past and am so fearful this will cause me to have another one....what can I do to get a grip on this without having to resort to a medication that may become addictive?
