Hi, weakness in the limbs, along with shakiness and elevated heart rate are side effects of adrenaline. Adrenaline is produced in response to intrusive, anxious thoughts - even the ones you can't hear, but your subconscious has picked up on.

Anxiety can also cause weird symptoms such as blotchy skin, prickly heat and so on.

Remember the first rule of anxiety: the weirder the symptom, the more likely it's caused by anxiety.

Hotbaths make me anxious and dizzy . I believe they can raise your heart rate.
