Default Fight or Flight syndrome???

I don't ask questions here too much anymore cause to honest alot of mine have been answered already either at the old board, here or by the medical profession.

But even tho I had a PA explain why this is happening to me I was wondering if happens to others with RSD or how many others with RSD that this also happens to?? It was explained to me that it all ties into the CNS, sympathetic & para-sympathetic nervous systems.

I will be watching TV, ready a book, just sitting & visiting with hubby or daughter or someone else. And then BAM! all of a sudden my body goes into the"'fight or flight" mode ONLY, if my BP & heart rate are taken, they are normal. I even went thru the HOLTER test to make sure my heart was ok. It seems strange to me for this to happen when all sows normal. Now even tho the heart rate & BP are normal, I still feel this 'BAM BAM BAM' going on inside of me. This includes in my head even. This didn't start to happen to me until about 9 months to a year ago.

How many others have this going on also??? or am I the only one out here *LOL* which wouldn't surprise me at all. I really tend to have strange reactions to different drugs & most of the time say like when we are in pain lots of folks' BP & HR go way up. Well mine go down. I am not kidding you. Like when most people are allergic to paper tape when I am not. I always have to have plastic tape used on me. Most are allergic to platic not paper. Most people get more calm on anti-depressants when I do just the opposite & get hyper. *LOL*

Just curious,
