Numbing electricity starting from my feet and going up the head, what is it?

[DriverMacron]

This is the first time i write in this forum, and i do not really have any neuropathology, but i have just experienced a situation that made me really curious what is it all about, and since it is a forum that deals with neuropathy and neurology, you might give me some information.
So today, i was working out in the gym, and suddenly i saw my ex who i didnt see for almost 8 months. We had a really bad break up and she shatterd my herat.
I saw her a couple of times before but all i got was anxiety, but nothing too bad.
Today, when i saw her, for the first time besides of the anxiety, i started to feel an immense amount of electricity is going through my body, first it started in my feet and kind of made them numb , then it was my hands, i could feel an IMMENSE amount of electricity going through my hands, and they got stuck in a fist position, and i really had a hard time to open my hands, then it kind of went to my face, and made some of my face area numb, i felt electricity going all through me.
It took me a couple of minutes to relax, just by breathing deeply and sitting for about 5 minutes and i was just fine.
It was one hack of an experience, but at the same time it got me really curious since right now im really getting into neurology by reading books and getting information about the system from whenever i can.
It was also really interesting because only yesterday i read about strokes, and how when they happen, you feel one part of your body numb, and then it goes to the next and then it goes to the next, that is there is a map in the brain.
My question is, can someone please explain to me what really happend there in terms of neurons, and what condition of psychological disorder can i relate my experience too? i was thinking panic atack or a stroke, but i dont really know how it feels like, thats why im asking you.
Thanks.

Thank you David, I appreciate any type of information i can get.
I was also thinking about a panic atack, but the thing is i managed the control my thoughts, i knew and told myself that there is absolutely no danger in here and that anxiety comes mainly as an automatic response of a fight or flight effect, so in my head i was pretty calm, it is my body who did not really cooperate and it took me abot 10 minutes to bring it all to normal.
In addition this feelings has fascinated me, it never happend to me before and i feel like i got a chance to experience a condition and to know how people with a certain disorder feel, without actually having this disorder.

I forgot to mention I'm not a doctor or an expert or anything. I'm just a person who has had panic attacks before, so I don't know this could also have been a neurological thing like a mini seizure or something you'd have to ask a doctor.

Sounds like a minor panic attack to me. It would be really likely since you said you experienced some more mild anxiety when you saw your ex before. If it was really unpleasant and you couldn't shake the idea that you were trapped or going to die or lose control or something that could be a panic attack.

I've had panic attacks with all sorts of weird physical sensations like feeling really hot or cold, tingly electric jolts, weakness etc.

Also if you were working out at the time your neurochemical balance could have been in a weird place with adrenaline, endorphins, dopamine and serotonin levels all being affected by excersise. This can make you more sensitive to stressors like seeing an ex.
