yes i get that cold sensation in my chest, head, and legs. And dry mouth often occurs as a result, or during a panic attack.

Yeah I get that, often followed by a tingling sensation and numbness in my limbs

Me too!!! Thought I was the only one since I don't remember seeing a post about this before. When I'm really anxious (usually in the mornings) I wake up with a cold feeling inside my chest. Sometimes I get those internal shakes too. It usually goes away when I take my lorazepam so I'm pretty sure it's anxiety related!

It's most likely to be caused by acid reflux due to the over production of adrenalin. You may also feel a cold sensation when you swallow. Try taking Rennes or something similar. Avoid overly hot or cold drinks. Avoid citric fruits.

Tingling sensation is an issue of over sensitised nerves. Remember that the whole body is an organ of anxiety, not just the stomach or the bowels. It will pass once the anxiety and the residual anxiety leaves the body.
