I made the mistake of eating two burgers and started feeling uncomfortable. I'd had some wine beforehand, so that may have contributed.
I began breathing rapidly and shallowly, and because of this, I was afraid I would vomit.
Breath control didn't work. My skin felt like cotton wool, which is how it usually feels on the rare occasion when I can't get enough air into my blood (high altitude, etc.)
But then I remembered the "mammalian dive reflex," which lowers heart rate in cold water.
I rubbed my face with an icecube until my breathing and heart rate slowed.
Placebo is possible, but this is digestion. It's about as concrete as it gets. My stomach is just as stuffed as it was before.
Why did this happen in the first place, and why did a cold face make it subside?

>hyperventilate
Is that what it was? I thought hyperventilation was an emotional thing.

fucking euros, man.
Dude, you've got serious cardiovascular problems. See a doctor immediately. Next time you do something that might do this to you, you might die.
Do you do any drugs at all? Smoke? Drink? I don't expect you're super old, so it must be something you're doing.

Don't smoke, drink in moderation (rarely more than two units a day,) twentysomething.
Drugs, maybe once a year. I'm thin but don't exercise.
What makes you say it's a cardiovascular issue?
I thought it might be pressure on the lungs.

hyperventilation is a social construct

The two units a day thing is a myth. Alcohol in any amount can be bad, particularly if you have an underlying cardiovascular condition, which it sounds like you might have. It's def a cardio issue, not pulmonary, and serious at that. Go to a doctor now.

I'll do that, but why does this only ever happen when I have a full stomach?
>>8207090
Dude I don't know. I think you've come up with an explanation, and it is confirmed every time you eat a lot. You eating a lot may have more to do with how much sodium you have in your bloodstream than anything else. (Two burgers!)

Is my day-long diarrhea (from before I ate the terrible two and after) a coincidence or somehow related?
I mistakenly ate a mouldy piece of bread and only noticed afterwards. I really don't have much luck with food.
I'm not taking the heart attack possibility lightly, and I'm overdue for a doctor visit anyway, but till it's confirmed I'm interested looking at all the possibilities.

you probably shouldn't have done that
Your digestive system was tapping out on you.
