Tingly face/hands/feet/ears, rapid heart beat, hyperventilating, muscle weakness, nausea, eye twitching, shaking, physically unable to speak.

My hands get tingly, racing heart, restlessness, heavy rapid breathing, a lot of times I get a touch of sensory overload so everything seems much louder than it actually is, and my claustrophobia sets in due to the sensory bit

Oooouuuucchh

I start feeling like everything is bigger and louder than it is, like the room is getting smaller. I get pangs of electricity in the palms of my hands and butterflies with hammers in my stomach.

Gingysnao

I get tightness in my chest, blurred vision, left sided weakness, tingling in my extremities, and fast heart rate. Sometimes migraines
