Tachycardia and panic attacks.
This case taught me the importance of listening closely to the patient's history, and not just jumping in and accepting an old diagnosis. It also showed me how patients can effect change in their lives, that even when patients are seemingly crippled by panic, anxiety, stress, and with a history of sexual abuse as a child, that person can effect meaningful change in their life and reclaim their life from the effects of these problems.
