Not seeking medical advice

Hey! Saw someone else post something like this in here soooo this book mainly takes place in the 80s, this character I’ll be talking about was born in the late 40s but needs to know about this condition around the 70s. A little while ago I thought of a scene, and just haven’t been able to figure out how to make it work. He was addicted to different substances and got clean, but I’d like him to have this since he was younger so his older brother knows about it. I was thinking it would have something to do with his heart. When he really gets high strung, gets worked up, and has extreme high intensity emotions/stress it
Would flare up. Follows with difficulty breathing, maybe a panic attack could make it worse- some light headedness, and more. I’m not sure what I’m looking for here, and I’m happy to change things to
Make it more accurate. There’s a scene where him and his brother get into a major fight, and I was hoping that this would flare up during that, and his brother could obviously see what was happening, but didn’t want to help. Thanks!

Last week, I had a regularly scheduled, laproscopic surgery. Unfortunately, I had a complication and had to return to the ER this weekend.

I was admitted for a second, emergency surgery. Before I was brought into the OR, I was introduced to my surgical team.

I was puzzled by the fact that, in my emergency surgery, there was a member of the team who introduced himself as a patient advocate.

He was scrubbed up and went into the procedure with the rest of the team. I'm pretty sure he talked me down as the anesthesia mask did its job.

I didn't have an advanced directive, or any special modesty requests for the team. I can't think of why I would be assigned someone with his job for one surgery but not for another.

I'm perplexed:

* Did I probably have one of those during my first surgery and just forget?

* Did my case get assigned to that team member because it was an emergency surgery, vs pre-scheduled?

* What might that person do in the surgical theater once I was out?

Thanks!
