Odd symptom that nobody has mentioned - possibly because its embarrassing so I thought I'd ask.
Occasionally when I am suffering from anxiety but not full panic, I come out in a cold sweat and become aware of a bad smell from the armpits - its not the same smell as BO (the boyfriend has verified this[Ugh] for me) but it isn't all that pleasant either. Sometimes its only on one side as well which is even more strange.
Nobody at work has noticed this (I asked the ones that know about the panic) because as soon as I become aware of it I stay away from others and clamp my arms tightly to my sides. At one point it was so frequent that I used to bring changes of tops to work, along with deodorant wipes and sprays. I'm not working at the moment, and as soon as I stopped, so did the symptom....it has also never happened at weekends or on holiday, so its definitely got a stress link !!
Please reply if you have ever had anything like this - it was so inconvenient and embarrassing, I'd like to think I wasn't on my own!!
