It sounds very much like a panic attack to me as well.

If you're experiencing the fight and flight response, your heart rate will increase to pump blood faster to the brain, lungs and muscles. To accommodate the increased heart rate, we begin breathing more quickly to increase the oxygen levels in our blood.

Chemical changes can happen when we breathe rapidly, which is called hyperventilation, and it causes the carbon dioxide level in the blood to decrease. This lower level of carbon dioxide reduces blood flow to the brain which in turn can affect the nervous system.

Hyperventilation can also cause the calcium levels in your blood to drop, which is most probably the cause of the tingling that you noticed. The tingling from low blood calcium can cause numbness and tingling, especially in both arms or around the mouth. You might also experience spasms (or cramps) of the hands and feet, or generalised muscle twitching.

Please see your doctor if this persists, or if it's causing you any concern.
