I'd make a great sentry too.
Smelling gas leaks? I can do that. Vibrations in the ground? Yep. A drop in the barometric pressure. Just ask my head.
I used to think it was my early training, given my parents uncertain tempers. But I see my son has the same characteristics, and I see no reason for him to have needed them. I also remember some cousins from my most stable aunts and uncles having the same issues. Not all of them, and admittedly I have a vast number of cousins. But even so, I think my mother's family is riddled with hypersensitive nervous systems. Though she herself shows no signs of having one.
So now I put more emphasis on nature, with nurture providing the honing of traits that otherwise might not have been as thoroughly activated.
That's interesting that your pdoc won't prescribe that. I was trying to remember if that was the drug my pdoc refused to prescribe because it had cognitive side effects, and he knew how much I hated those side effects. But... I think that may possibly have been verapamil. I wish I'd written it down.
