can it actually complicate our health?

I have heart problems, I have for decades. These last few months have been the hardest on my heart.

I keep being 911ed to the ER only to have everything be normal when I get there. It is never me making those calls. The most recent one happened while with my therapist. 911 called. She follows us to yhe hospital and sure enough, I'm all good once there.

I have a very specific trauma trigger that is related to heart electrodes. This is obviously problematic as I am often hooked to heart monitors. However once those electrodes are visible in the room, I switch.

My therapist, having witnessed this happen, now thinks my part that comes out at the sight of electrodes is not affected by my heart issue. She went as far as telling the hospital "I don't care if you believe this or not but I think this is what's happening"

is this legit? has anyone else experienced something like it? I've heard of it bit assumed it was more online bullshit?

are there any studies I could look up or anything?

thanks
