it's happened a few times to me this year.. i will be in the middle of a conversation and i get extremely lightheaded, my arms get the feeling of needle pricks all over them, my ears feel really cold (not to the touch.. just like there's ice being held on them), i sweat uncontrollably, and i get really close to vomiting, and fainting. the only thing that helps is usually laying down exactly where i am, and the attention it attracts is embarrassing. during the whole "attack", anyone i am talking to just sounds like jumble, and sometimes my vision will get blurry. my boyfriend told me that i also get very pale in the face.
the intense part usually lasts about 5 minutes.
what could this be?
