Hi Kimmi

I'm sorry I don't know much about this, but have you considered a type of panic attack? Have you tried any methods of physical or mental relaxation that alleviate it once it's started?

I see you're a naturopath, maybe it's worth looking into some alternative therapies like osteopathy to see if it's a mechanical issue?

Hope you feel better soon! I'm just wildly guessing here, btw.
