I need to please know i'm not alone

I'm new to suspecting i might have my dad's arthritis almost everything matches up but I'm wondering if I'm alone on a few things that leave me scared or my life quality is down so much. I keep getting a impending doom with sleeping or randomly while awake where i feel like I'm dying or something is horribly wrong but i go to the er and they can't find anything but inflammation its driving me insane and I'm so sleep deprived and scared because of it. I've had previous PE's so i get scared about these symptoms but they never find anything and I'm stuck in the er for 8 hours. and not only that i feel so much brain fog to the point it's terrifying like I'm not myself anymore it feels horrible. my parents both neglected me when it came to me having issues starting in 2020 but I'm in horrible pain and having the same exact symptom matches up as my dad except he's doing better now and doesn't really talk to me about this stuff. i just feel so alone and scared about all of this stuff. I'm waiting for a rheumatologist appointment and I'm on meloxicam which has been helping so much but those two issues I've been having leave me lifeless and scared. please let me know this is normal for psoriatic arthritis and what has helped you with this because i have no clue what to do anymore and I'm so burnt out.
