Hello Matt.
Thank you for your question.I understand your concern.

In my opinion the troubles you are having seem to be a disorder called "autonomic disfunction ".
It may be caused by psychological stress.
But you refer that these attacks happen also during relaxation.
In this situation further examination are needed to rule out some other problems like a kind of Partial Epilepsy, with autonomic aura.
You should have a good physical examination and an EEG to see your brain function and explore for Epilepsy.
Also an EKG should be helpful, a measure of your blood pressure during the attacks, although you say that you don't have problems with your cardiac rhythm during the attacks.
Hope to have been helpful.
Best wishes, Dr. Abaz Quka
