Emergency Medical Costs in Seoul, South Korea

Donation protected
Hi everyone :) My name's Jami, and I'm currently visiting Seoul, South Korea for the first time to see my girlfriend. I have underlying health problems (fibromyalgia), and while on the plane ride here, I sadly started experiencing some heart attack and pulmonary embolism symptoms due to the cabin pressure. Because of that, I've had to go to the hospital *several* times for emergency treatment and care. As you can imagine, paying out of pocket since I'm a foreigner cost me a big chunk of the money that I was using here to make my trip here really special. I've spent months saving up that money, and I'm absolutely heartbroken that something like this that I can't control happened...due to the plane ride here at that.
 
I am currently still experiencing health problems and serious chest pain as I'm writing this, but I fear I have no more money to prioritize my health and am trying to stick it out. But I am quite honestly terrified, and just want more help to make sure I'm okay. I've already paid about a $1k, and as you can imagine as a 21-year old college student, its kind of hard for me to spend that money without hurting my finances significantly. The $1.5k here would cover the medical costs I've already had to pay with the transaction fees, I don't want to ask for more because I just want what I spent back so I can go to the emergency room if I need to. The ER alone would cost me $1k again. 

If anyone knows me personally, they know that I'm the type of person that refuses to let anyone pay for me for anything, and whenever I can I always spoil the people that I love around me down to my last possible dollar. It's been really hard to come to the decision to put up this gofundme, as I just truly wanted this trip and my first time traveling so far to be something special with my loved one, and now I'm struggling due to an emergency medical situation. I feel completely defeated. I have more time here that I'm spending, and I fear the plane ride back home will cause me more issues, and I don't have the money to go to the emergency room again or ask for proper treatment (medication refills and tests) before my travel.
 
I'm sorry to even be asking this, but if there's anything anyone can do--whether it's words of encouragement, a share, or even $1, it would genuinely mean the world to me and quite literally save my health.
 
I hope everyone stays healthy, stays loving, and stays kind.
