Hi Aoron,
If it was just the "feeling of having a heart attack" I would have said it oculd be a type of
anxiety disorder called pani disorder. Mixed anxiety and
Depression is comon, though it is less common in settings of depression in
Bipolar disorder than pure depression, but still can occur.
But, the fact that you had anaesthesia over half of the body along with your arm turning blue tell me that it must be something physical...I don't know may be soemthing called Raynaud's disease which affects arms, has
anesthesia as one of the symptoms.... etc BUT I AM NO EXPERT AT PHYSICAL THINGS.
To my knowledge this episode does appear to be like a Transient Vascualr Event and you shouldl have it chekced up furthe, I dont know who with though.
Overall, I would say, given these facts, the episode is not related to your bipolar disorder.
Do check out if the medicines you are using for Bipolar disorder, have this kind of side effect, though.
Good Luck
