I read up on the symptoms and since I didn't feel any "pain" it indicated it was a pinched nerve.
I started doing some stretches lying on my back and sometimes that stopped the "zinging" immediately but not every time. When it did I could feel my spine in the middle of my back "pop". And if I laid flat on my back I could feel my spine had hump in it.
I could also feel some tingling in my feet and legs before it would start zinging me out, so I got to know when they were coming.
One day when I felt the tingling I stood up and raised my arms straight up and arched my back backwards as far as I could and slowly lowered my arms by bringing them down while pulling them behind me as far as I could in a half circle motion. All kinds of "popping" noises happened and the tingling went away instantly.
Over the next few weeks I had just a few full on zingers and when I did that stretch they went away almost instantly. Since then I've made a point to do those stretches several times a day and I've not had a full blown zinger in over a month.
It was bad though. Damn near paralyzing on my left side and I could barely walk when it was happening.
