The "powerful sense of impending doom" is a fairly common symptom, and having it go away with ascent is pretty much a clincher.
A person's susceptibility to narcosis can vary on a daily basis depending on what sort of physical & emotional condition they're in, as well as water temps, etc.
Ascending several feet was the right thing to do, you passed your test & you already know that you can handle it should it happen again.
