Feeling the Heat!

[pooh]

Hi!

Does anyone else suffer from their temperature going up when they experience a panic attack. I asked my Doc today and he didnt seem too sure about it being a symptom, but didn't elaborate, just said could indicate something else and had i been tested for anything. Rather a vague response i know and i didn't pursue it cause I was so anxious to get out.

Is it just me or is this quite common?

I'd appreciate any replies. Thanks in advance!

Yep - I cant breathe, I hyperventilate, I get hot and dizzy and convince myself Im going to collapse - very common with panic attacks. Wenjoy xxx

Hi Pooh,

I get hot with palps and when Im having anxiety attacks etc...I thought it was a normal symptom of panic!!!!!!

I definitly get hotter, and very blotchy and red. Temperature may not alter, Ive never checked but the feeling of being hot is there.xxx

I get the exact opposite!
Whenever I get an anxiety/panic attack I feel very cold and need to sit by the radiator. It's very odd

My therapist says heat is a release ... it's a good thing and we should welcome it as a sign the panic is moving.

As for me I never know if the hot flash is causing the panic attack (perimenapausal here!) or if the panic is creating the hot flash. Either way I FEEL THE HEAT!

My temperature seems to be all over the place when i am anxious, i sometimes get really hot and sweaty and other times i feel really cold and shivery i am also menopausal so i suppose it could be that but i do definately notice it more when i am anxious.
