5 mins is a long time, don't want to sound alarmist, but go see a doc asap

Maybe the plane incident was influenced by the lower pressure - typically equivalent to 6-7000 ft above sea level. The humidity is also very low.

Though most people don't suffer adverse effects it may exacibate an existing problem

Hi Frank, I have not experienced this, you must see your GP about this. Maz x

I have had a similar episode, probably linked to having systemic mastocytosis as well as ET.

This is the creation of too many mast cells, which requires anti hystamines to treat.

Get your sitting/standing blood pressure checked, mine falls by about 20 points if I stand up too fast.

Do get checked out by doctor - vital.
