You are having exactly what happens to me. Pins and needles, heart races, I get hot flashes and cold flashes. It sucks. All I can say. I wish I could make it stop but I haven't figured it out yet.

The only thing I keep telling myself when it happens is, 'You have been to the doctor and you are fine.'

Possibly a very low dose of the medication would be helpful, but not enough to overwhelm you with side effects.

Sounds like a panic attack to me. We've all been there.
