I was diagnosed as having panic
attacks years ago. They were the typical
attacks where the symptoms were heart racing, feeling of needing to escape the situation, blurry vision, nausea. But, also at this time, I was having a different sort of episode. I get the feeling in a surge of "something" that starts near my upper abdomen, and then radiates throughout my upper body. It sort of feels like a burning sensation that will move into my arms and back.
