I bought this little guy on Amazon after I noticed my heart beating fast in the morning, especially when I got up to pee.

A CNA probably doesn't need a stethoscope. Most places use electronic blood pressure cuffs to monitor that stuff and a CNA never listens to lungs or heart sounds anyway. She would definitely use a pulse oximeter every day though, and those things disappear like no body's business.
your issue isn't clotting, it's OCD and anxiety, and I don't know that we're the right people to help you with that. We can give you all the reassurances in the world but your OCD/anxiety will say "yeah but what about...". Have you tried posting in r/OCD or r/anxiety?
If you're not on hormonal birth control now and you don't have any genetic factors and you don't have other risk factors (as listed on the sidebar) you're unlikely to clot. your doctor felt you were well enough to come off anticoagulants.
you know what the symptoms of a PE are, and you know what they aren't. you remember what symptoms you experienced when you got your PE, that's what you need to watch for. you know that finger pain is not a symptom of a clot so remind yourself of that in a positive reassuring way. Remind yourself that you are okay, you are safe, and you know how to get help if anything does happen.
What some folks do is they get an inexpensive pulseox device to monitor their blood oxygen and reassure themselves they are getting enough oxygen.
At this point you probably have some PtSD from your experience and your therapist is the best person to help you work thru that along with your other anxiety disorders.
I do box breathing for anxiety, it can help with mild to moderate anxiety, I don't know if it helps panic. you might also benefit from a mind-body practice like yoga or t'ai chi or qigong. they are not a quick fix, it's something you have to practice regularly.
For what it's worth I have anxiety disorder as well, been dealing with it off and on most of my life. I do know it has a life of its own and does what it wants, logic be damned. I did a lot of medication, a lot of therapy, and do a lot of yoga and meditation. It still rears its ugly head now and again.
Essential Tremors are common, and run in families. Totally different part of the brain, and doesn't effect activities. My grandmother and mom both had ET, but not Parkinson's.
Sleeping is something she should tell her Doctor about.
My MDS (movement disorder specialist) had me see a sleep disorder specialist due to my lack of sleep. Ended up doing two sleep studies, Sleep Specialist (A Neurologist who specializes in Sleep Disorder... so additional years of medical school) commented 99/100 of the clients he just see's Apnea issues. I was the 1 in 100 who has brain issues, including central apnea when I just stop breathing for a while. They monitor your oxygen levels to also help see what is going on. I have a fancy little CPAP machine to help me keep breathing at night. Going from three hours of sleep to five hours is a huge difference how I feel.
Pulse Oximeter. For $20 everyone should have one. Super simple to slide of someones finger at night and get a reading. Oh, first one I got was bad... inconsistent readings, returned it, next worked fine. Take it to your Doctor's Office and compare with their fancy machine. If Mom is reading below 93 when napping/sleeping.... keep a written log and bring it to her next Doctor's appts.
I hated my CPAP the first month, but later realized I didn't have those headaches when I woke up. :)
That's what I was thinking. I mean, >300 for cardiac monitoring? I could probably buy my own EKG machine (ok, well, it's for kids) for that price.
Also, you could literally buy two pulse oximeters for that price and still have change for a cheeseburger. I know, I have one.
Shit man.
I have this one, and I like it very much.
I found the user manual, and it claims +/- 2% accuracy.
