CBT and DBT discuss faulty thinking styles of which one is "Catastrophic Thinking". There are ways to manage this. In particular, a "Decatasrophic Worksheet" has proven helpful to me in such situations. It has really been a good tool to have in my coping toolbox.

I am sorry you had the issue with the ambulance.
I have something like that.. ever since I knew about seizures and fainting, I keep thinking that when I'm talking to someone normally, they are just going to stop responding and I'm going to have to call the ambulance for them.
it's a weird fear.. even if I know the person is totally healthy, it's an issue.
