The one thing I'm noticing is that I feel like my blood pressure is up. My head is pounding, my heart is racing. I was up practically all night even though I take enough sleep medicine to put most people into coma! I feel extremely hot too. Anyone else experience these physical side effects while Hypo-manic or manic? If not, do you have different ones?

Last time I was (presumably) hypomanic my heart was going so crazy - I actually had an abnormal EKG. Got more tests done and everything was fine, but it was scary. I think part of it was from not really eating or sleeping much and then drinking alcohol and working out (I randomly started boxing then).
I also get something that feels like butterflies in my stomach when up - sort of a nervous hyperactive feeling in my gut.
