Feeling really hot and then really cold!

[Jess5566]

Today I’ve started to feel really hot and sweaty but then the slightest draft causes me to shake and get goosebumps all over, it’s 21 degrees out today so it’s not like it’s freezing!, this is causing the to panic massively as I’m not sick and it has happened to be quite often, I’m worried I have something really wrong with me and today I’ve just been spiralling, my mind is out of control!

Im 24 so I’m trying to tell myself it could just be hormonal or something but of course my HA and google:doh::doh: seem to think otherwise.

If anyone has any advice please could you comment back! Thankyou!

Hey, about the hot and cold, I get that too sometimes. For me, I think it is a mix of hormone dysregulation + anxiety. I have PCOS, and after I stopped birth control, I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling cold to my bones, or alternatively, super hot and sweaty, like the hot flashes described when people go through menopause. This amount of temperature extremes has since subsided, but I still will get alternating hot and cold flashes when I am super stressed.

If this continues, I would consider going in to get your hormone levels checked. Hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism can cause temperature sensitivity, and is something that can be treated with medication.

Thank you for your reply!
It’s only been the last 3 cycles I’ve felt like this so made me worry, i had a ultrasound a couple of years ago and they mentioned something about too many follicles but said it was probably due to my age.

And I’ve had a recent thyroid check and everything was fine there too.

I get those sensations when I'm having panic attacks!
