Sweating on my Face and its cold and cant breathe

Tonight i have felt like im having trouble breathing.I also feel like im sweating and its cold in the house and I have a tshirt on.All night I have been hearing my pulse and feeling my face and neck and head sweat and when I touch them there is no moisture there.I have a headache and just feel really bizarre.How can you be freezing enough to put your feet under a blanket but hot enough to feel like you are sweating ..It doesn't make sense.I don't have any fever all though I had a light great fever of about one point before I took a tylenol..its got me worried..But I posted not too long ago about living in a high altitude..Hopefully its just the weather here taking the moisture out of my body ..I don't know if i will ever get used to feeling like this all the time..and its hard to breathe a little...Hope that im ok and not having a heart attack although..my heart has a almost perfect pulse

Hi,
I get the sweating thing all the time exactly the same as you.All your symptoms are definitely anxiety related,ive had all your symptoms and more but youve got to try and relax more if you can.All the worrying about the symptoms just intensifies them and makes them a whole lot worse.As you get better(and you will) the anxiety will fade and so will the physical symptoms too.It wont always be like this i promise.

I absolutely agree with you when you get symptoms no matter whether they are anxiety or not if you think about them they get worse.I think I found the cause of our sweating.Yesterday was very very cold and we had snow on the ground.There was a lot of moisture I suppose in the air or maybe it was the air sucking it out of us..who knows.but we didn't have the heat on because it gets too hot in the house for us.Today was very clear outside and the snow has melted and the sun was out,but I woke with the sweating..I realize and think now that if you are covered up and warm and the air around you is cold then the heat is going to rise to your head and make you sweat or the moisture is going to condensate on your upper body..Anyway we turned the heat on today and I haven't felt like that all day.I do have a little virus or something.I haven't felt good all day and I woke this morning and started paying attention to its beating..it felt irratic but then it settled down or maybe I was mistaken.All day its beat has been very faint but that may have been because I wasn't very active..Also I am taking asprin as well.I usually hear my heartbeat due to ..supposely ear blockage but I didn't today because my blood pressure must have been low or something.I fixed dinner tonight and started noticing it for a bit then it went away again.After dinner it made its unmistakable pounding again in my head.This makes me think that what im hearing it blood pressure related..Maybe as the pressure comes up whatever im hearing gets louder because the blood vessel is close to the fluid in my ears..at least thats all im hoping that its nothing.As I settle down for the night and work on the computer it starts getting quiet too..I am scheduled for an ent in about a week.I am praying its nothing but fluid in my ears and have had a bunch of people tell me that is what it sounds like to them,but today my neck has been hurting and there feels like pressure on my throat and in my head..Maybe its just a sinus issue..I guess i will know soon enough..Thanks for writing.. I was so worried last night..I don't know if I will ever get used to the weather in this place or not..

I am so grateful to you for starting this topic - I subscribed to this forum just now as I've been having these symptoms (sweating but feeling icy cold) for nearly a year now, and kept telling myself that it was anxiety related but wanted to be sure. Feeling reassured already

Thanks

I wanted to come back and tell everyone what i had found out about this feeling so in hopes of anyone that has moved or living at high altitude.This has been bothering me off and on for over a year.I have found articles on the internet about dehydration and sweating at high altitude and the loss of moisture in their bodies.These mostly reffered to hikers,and climers and people that were really very active in the high country ,not someone like me that suffers from anxiety..Well..Big surprize..Although panic attacks and anxiety im sure can cause this situtation..I know..I have had the hands sweat..and things of that nature.I talk to a specialist today,that has lived here all his life.I ask him about what i was feeling and I told him at first I thought it was me..maybe high blood pressure or anxiety,and then I said I didn't know anymore because my wife experienced the same feeling..Then he ask me..Do you feel clammy feeling like there is moisture there and then there is none.but you still have the perception of moisture on the part of the body but you are cold? I said yes..how did you know? He says join the crowd..i said excuse me? He said ..you and everyone else here.Its a different type of weather here..Not what you are accustom to.Where you come from is tropical weather...where there is actual moisture rolling down your skin..here the moisture is being sucked right out of the skin therefore we always urge people here to drink more liquids ,water,etc...especially people that visit here.Its a known fact that the altitude and the cold can steal the moisture out of your body at a very fast rate.So you are normal..and its normal to feel that way ..So the sweating for now has been put to rest..I hope anyone that lives in a high altitude or that has just moved to one can learn of this on here.I also ask him about the hikers and climers and such..and he said no..it effects you even in your bed..if you don't move it feels the same.. so thank goodness...
