I am interrested in any thing that you can find out about this. I don't know if what I experienced was the same thing as you are experiencing but your post struck something familiar in me. I have not experience this as an adult, but as a young child (about 8 or 9 years old) I experiance something that might be simular.
As best as I can recall, it used to happen about once every 3 months for about a year, and then after that I think it happened about 4 or 5 times about 6 months apart then disappeared. I can still remember being afraid at around the 6 month mark knowing that I was going to experiance another bout of what ever it was.
It funny that I can't remember how old I was, but I will never forget the episodes. It alway happened at night after I was asleep. I remember waking up to a loud racing noice in my head that just keep getting louder and faster, louder and faster. I can even remember getting out of bed and walking around my room or the tv room, an my walk getting faster and faster. It happing once when a babysitter was over and she and my older sister trying to catch me running around the house crying. I know thatI needed to go faster and couldn't help the walking then running. I can't say how long these episodes laster either they could have been as short as 20 minuites for all I know but they were terrifying.
I still think of those episodes ocasionally and have never figured out what they were or why they happened. My parents told me I was too wound up or they were "growing pains". I really don't know, and as they stopped maybe, but like I said before something in your post struck me as oddly familar.
