Call your general internist, and get over there for a full work up. That *doesn't* sound much like anything I've come across regarding body memories, but it does sound like something that could have a very physical cause.
Unless you've already done the bloodwork and physical, you don't know that *every* symptom you're experiencing is related to PTSD. Many of them are, but there's still a good possiblity that you're experiencing something like orthostatic hypotension, or starting to show signs of Bell's palsy, or having a bad reaction to meds. The rule in veterinary care is pretty simple: rule out the physical first. It's a good rule, and I wish more human doctors would follow it. It may turn out to be PTSD, but check out the physical first. (I've had similar experiences, and they were physical, by the way, and nothing very bad. Don't let fear of being sick keep you from the doctor's office. Once I finally dragged my back end in there, I was better within days.)
Good luck!
