PTSD is sometimes described as "a natural response to unnatural circumstances". You were a care taker when you should have been taken care of, and you were exposed to your mother being at serious risk of death. PTSD could be a possibility.
Aside from anxiety, it sounds like you are sorta reliving the experience?
I would try going to talk to a therapist, they should be able to help you sort through what you're experiencing and could guide you to other resources if needed.
