EXACTLY! RSD involves the sympathetic nervous system, which controls your "fight or Flight" responses, so it's no wonder you are having these things come along. I get it too... it's strange when all of a sudden it happens and you aren't in a situation that it is needed for!!
I just wanted to let you know what you mean, and wanted to tell you that I know how it is. Keep hanging in there.
And from another site:

It is the sympathetic nervous system that is involved in the disease RSD. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for the “fight or flight” reaction. It accelerates heart rate, constricts blood vessels, and distributes blood to the brain, heart and muscle. RSD is thought to be a result of excitation of peripheral nerve elements with an abnormal and severe sympathetic response resulting in the pain and signs and symptoms of RSD.
