Never in my life (26 years) under no circumstances did I faint or come
near fainting. But 3 days ago after feeling a mild sharp (normal, I
guess) pain in my head I just thought for a moment something like
"Maybe something happened, I guess not but, we'll see". Suddenly I
felt tingling in my both arms and thought "No... that's impossible"
but then I felt it again much stronger and then thought "something is
obviously happening, I could drop dead in a few seconds" Then I stood
up tried to dismiss that idea but then I had the same feeling and felt
like I'm blacking out. Then I calmed myself a little but then thought
of it again and again felt the same thing. Went to have an ECG and it
was normal, and a quick neurologist examination (reflexes etc.) and -
all normal.

Now, that's not the problem but now every day just thinking about
having that symptoms (deliberately or accidentally) I can provoke them
again every time. And I can't even think freely because I have to
suppress thoughts.

I guess that it could be the vasovagal syncope but everything I read
about it doesn't mention "thinking about something" as a common cause
and I never had it before under much more stress, scary thoughts,
blood tests, crowds or anything. Is it an vasovagal syncope or could
it be something else?

It could be anxiety, it could be presyncope since you didn't lose
consciousness and actually faint or it could be something else.

Strange... I just hope it vanishes soon.. I did call my friend who is
going to be a cardiologist, and he told me about that vagal response
and told me something like - when you have it once you "learn" it and
because of that it can happen again.. Can it somehow be stomach
related?

What you have described is not the usual experience for someone predisposed to having vasovagal (aka neurocardiogenic) syncopal episodes.

Would suggest you inform your primary physician about your continued symptoms, however.

May you and other dear neighbors, friends, and brethren have a blessedly wonderful 2008th year since the birth of our LORD Jesus Christ as our Messiah, the Son of Man ...

.. by being hungrier:

Hunger is wonderful:

It's how we know what GOD desires, which is all that is good.

Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve paid for with their and our immortal lives.

Those who suffer from the powerful delusion predicted by the prophecy of 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 would deny this and perish ( gone !!! ) forever ...

Such will be the demise of all those who refuse to know **and** love the truth, Who is LORD Jesus Christ:

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed:

"Blessed are you who hunger NOW...

.. for you will be satisfied." -- LORD Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)

Amen.

Well, it's not the vasovagus syncope, it seems that all the symptoms
fit the panic attack and that's it
I guess :)

Did your neurologist do any tests to rule out a TIA? What you
experienced sounds like classic symptoms.
