Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Flashbacks: Strong emotions can raise blood pressure, heart rate, etc. See doctor to make sure all is well medically and then see a clinical psychologist for help w/flashbacks. You MAY have post-traumatic stress disorder. Peace and good health.
