I Have No Clue What Happened..

This happened about two days ago, but its still freaking me out a bit.

I felt the ground shake not once but twice at the bus stop with my girlfriend heading out to take her to a date. I felt the ground rolling and shake for a moment, and I turned to my girlfriend and said, "did you feel that?" she said "felt what?" then the ground below felt like it shock and rolled again.

I grabbed my girlfriend fearing that this was a real earthquake. A moment later I said "that" she looked at me like I was crazy, and I dismissed it thinking maybe I was just thinking it was happening.

15 mins later still on the bus, I felt my chest growing with pressure it was hard for me to breathe, my arms (both of the them) was starting to lose feeling. Then the sides of my faces started to lose feeling, and my chest was hurting through out all of this, my heart racing.

On the bus I shouted "I am not doing good" I tried to stand up but felt back to my seat. Over the next ten minutes the feelings came back, and I started to feel better. I went through the day dismissing what happened, like it didnt happen. I am wondering if anyone gets this, or knows what this was, if its apart of PTSD. The reason why I am unsure is I didnt feel stressed, nor was I thinking about anything related to my past. So I am not sure it was a panic attack...

Help Please?
 
I don't know if what you felt was anything like what happened to me but it sounds close. I started having body memories last year and at first I didn't even know what they were or that they were possible. This was happening as the repressed memories started to come back. The worst ones were the ones that happened before the actual memory came back to me. I would lose my hearing, my legs felt weak and I could not stand, it was hard to breath and I would feel a pressure on my face even though there was nothing there, not even a draft. But they were all sensations and I could make myself push past them so that I could function at work. They were very frightening and very confusing and even though I could push past them I couldn't make them stop, not until the memory came back and I started processing it. They still happen but I realized that they are still only memories and just realizing that minimizes the impact it has on me. They are memories and I survived the actual event.

I hope some of this helps you, just knowing I wasn't alone helped me when I first started reading about some of this.
