It has never happend to me before and it freaked me out. There is no apparent reason for me to be nervous apart from that I am traveling soon, but I travel a lot and have never had this before. I am a bit scared and don't know what to do or what to expect to happen next. Any help very welcomed, thank you in advance.

Sounds like it may be an AF attack which has been more extreme that you normally have , assuming that you have AF since you are on this site. .

Is it panic attack? Maybe you are anxious about something

Hope you feel better now

Sounds like your body perceived something as a shock to your system and the symathetic/para-sympathetic nervous system got overloaded and out of phase. How long did it last for?

Can you correlate it with any other symptoms or events? Was there a sort of adrenaline rush feeling prior to the onset of symptoms?

I have had similar symptoms in a more extreme way, ie whole body shakes, but only when there has been a good reason, ie in fast AF with very low blood pressure, after ablation with complications etc. Both times I had to be medicated.

I experienced it in a very minor way when my para-sympathetic nervous system was triggered by a memory of a childhood nightmare - every time I drove down a particular hill on my journey home from work - crazy or what! I had to change my route home.

Something, somewhere is not quite right, if it happens again pay attention to EXACTLY, including thoughts & memories, what was going on for you just before and during the event, write it down and then try correlate with first time.

Not what you're looking for?
