Never in my life (26 years) under no circumstances did I faint or come

guess) pain in my head I just thought for a  moment something like
"Maybe something happened, I guess not but, we'll see". Suddenly I
felt tingling in my both arms and thought "No... that's impossible"
but then I felt it again much stronger and then thought "something is
obviously happening, I could drop dead in a few seconds" Then I stood
up tried to dismiss that idea but then I had the same feeling and felt
like I'm blacking out. Then I calmed myself a little but then thought
of it again and again felt the same thing. Went to have an ECG and it
was normal, and a quick neurologist examination (reflexes etc.) and -
all normal.

Now, that's not the problem but now every day just thinking about
having that symptoms (deliberately or accidentally) I can provoke them
again every time. And I can't even think freely because I have to
suppress thoughts.

I guess that it could be the vasovagal syncope but everything I read
about it doesn't mention "thinking about something" as a common cause
and I never had it before under much more stress, scary thoughts,
blood tests, crowds or anything. Is it an vasovagal syncope or could
it be something else?

It could be anxiety, it could be presyncope since you didn't lose
consciousness and actually faint or it could be something else.
