Symptom narrative

Within a couple of hours after getting vaccinated I became extremely ill. Worst illness I've experienced and some of the most intense pain throughout my entire body. Two days later I felt like I couldn't breath anymore. I started having many panic attacks per day because I felt like I was suffocating. Nearly 5 years later I feel the exact same way. After seeing many specialists in [state withheld], I finally started going to [name withheld] Clinic in April of 2022. The reason no one could figure this out is because all of my PFT's look completely normal. After a few years of testing at [name withheld] Clinic, they finally discovered I have a new rare disorder called "Preload Insufficiency". This is where I don't have enough blood flow from my legs into my heart. Because of that, my heart can't pump adequate blood to the rest of my body. So, I don't have enough oxygen going to my brain through my blood stream and is why I feel oxygen starved 24/7. There is no cure or treatment for this and as a relict I can hardly function in everyday life.
