I am 60 yrs. old, have controlled HBP, and have been having a strange symptom for about a year, altho yesterday was by far the worst incident. It felt as though I was having labor contractions in my torso, including under my breasts, diaphram and my back. It was quite painfull,and left me unable to catch my breath, but also I felt the need to get up and walk to kind of get my circulation calmed down. Sounds weird, I know. Any advice for me?? Joith
