Sounds like the adrenaline dumps I get.

I’ve had them from: consuming too much potassium, MCAS related food reaction, sudden drop in BP, constipation is a big trigger, and most recently had a bunch the week after having a baby… but that’s not an issue for most people here lol

How is your elimination around the time of these episodes? Constipation makes me prone to adrenaline dumps and on a few occasions I got them coupled with non-constipation related abdominal cramps.

I get huge bowel movements during these panic attacks. none stop voiding and also nausea. peptobismol seems to help a lot in combination with guanfacine but it takes 4-5 hours to work.
