I neglected to give it a name, as requested.
I'm really not sure what to call it.
But when I do something like that, there is at times a brief
feeling of anxiety that I've screwed it up, regardless of
how much testing I've done.
If I am *sure* I've screwed it up, the anxiety is followed
by a head to toe tingling, and involuntary contraction of
several muscles best not discussed here.
