PTSD is not "panic attack". I have never had an episode like that. I did have a temp job that involved organising ambulance reports. The majority of them were anxiety attacks, panic attacks and inebriated suicidal gestures. Ingestion of cleaning products was popular in Texas and Oklahoma.

Paramedics are familiar with non-medical emergency calls. They are employees of private companies not volunteers. They get the paid the same saving lives or teaching you how to breathe. Im sure Its all in a days work for them. Most ambulance rides are this kind of nonsense.

Anxiety can FEEL like something neurological or endocrine. When you feel like your consciousness is diminishing and you cant be sure It is not a stroke or something serious and you feel you may only have a few minutes of lucidity, its understandable to call 911. It would be obnoxious to do it again.
