Can stress cause Feline Hyperesthesia?

We've had Midgie, our civvie with the lung mass, at the vet 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Since then she has started doing the sudden grooming of her back, back legs, belly and tail. Bases on the videos I've watched on YouTube today, it really looks like she could have a mild Feline Hyperesthesia. She's a sensitive little girl...always been super squirrely and easily frightened.

Could the stress of the car trips and the fact that Ru will hiss at her every time we get home from the vet cause this? She's never done it before. It not bad...she doesn't do the running, wild eyed hallucination thing. She's not over grooming, pulling out her hair or anything like that. She's mostly just kind of itchy and twitchy.

(no sign of fleas, rash or anything like that either)
