I'm experiencing this thing where I'll suddenly get really scared out of nowhere, and when that happens, my heart starts racing, and then it's like I have a bit of trouble catching my breath. Plus, my legs and the palms of my hands get super cold. Is there a reason why all of these things are happening together? Should I be worried?
