I think its a pretty extreme version of being dizzy. Part of the flight or fight response hard wired into our systems.

In a dangerous environment, your body would push the blood from your brain and its extremeties. So your fingers go numb - so if your hurt, you can run without leaving all your blood; also pushes more blood to muscles so they can work faster and harder.

The social anxiety, it basically recreates the flight or fight scenario in your mind. I think this is just an extreme version of that.

But I'd seriously recommend a visit to the doctors. It would easily be something else.
