PTSD almost 4 years later

I am 4 years out from the last time the narc contacted me. I had to send a cease and desist letter to him and his employer to stop the harassment. It worked! I am now very happily married to the greatest man in the world and life is great. Better than great. But I recently discovered that I have some form of PTSD from all the narc's lying...about everything. My husband and I recently became friends with another family and when a lot of things they were telling us were not "adding up" we did a quick inquiry and found out that so much of what they had told us about themselves were lies. The lies were very much like many of the lies my narc used to tell people...saying they owned things they did not own, bragging about material things that they did not own, how much money they spent on things, accomplishments in their past, lying about their one child and his situation. It freaked me out. I started having major anxiety and panic attacks and no longer wanted anything to do with these people. My husband has had a hard time understanding all this but has stuck by me and has mostly broken ties with them. I was spending too much time hearing them talk and talk and constantly wondering if I was hearing the truth or lies. Can it really be that my experience with the narc 4 years ago still has this hold on me??
