I didn't know what was happening. I felt calm. I was sitting at a desk with my head down just "resting" after drinking orange juice because I thought I felt bad due to low blood-sugar, maybe, was my guess. I then freaked out over the 190-200 systolic BP and the numbness in my extremities and the HR in the 130's. At that point, talking myself down was not on the table. I did not know what was happening and suspected MI, PE, something nasty.
Now that I know, I think I will manage, or I will throw my C02 out of bounds enough that I will lose consciousness and the problem will handle itself and normalize, although that's VERY! extreme and I doubt it will go that far, it's the ultimate "end" to one of these episodes, as I see it medically.
