The symptoms described suggest activation of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for the body's "fight or flight" response. This response is triggered by stress, fear, or other perceived threats, and can lead to increased heart rate, breathing rate, and other physiological changes that prepare the body to respond to danger.
