Hot surges

[Jules31]

For the last few months, every so often I find that my body will go into a hot surge from head to foot. It will feel like my whole body is on fire and I will often feel faint or weak with it. My skin it red hot to the touch but not usually sweaty(though I do get hot sweats too at different times). Often at the same time I will get an immensely tight heading and pounding head. The heat usually lasts for about 15 minutes adn the skin on my face and chest will look flushed. People will comment I look hot and if they touch me feel that I am too

Is this just the anxiety beast too?

Sure sounds like it Jules.

I used to complain my blood was boiling.
I was cold to touch, but I felt like I was cooking from the inside out.
Nasty.

Love, light and Best wishes

Jules,

I just read your post, especially the fact that your skin actually DOES feel hot to the touch.

That brought something back to me.

When I first started having PA's some 20 years ago, I went to the doc who said I looked flushed and felt hot. He diagnosed a "virus" but my PA's continued.

Am now thinking I was suffering the same as you with the panicky flushes.

Take care

Hiya Kate,

I think the worst thing is, is that we are so often misdiagnosed. So that just delays our recovery.

I don`t know how many times I`ve been to the Emergency Room with these same symptoms to be sent home with no diagnosis at all. I would be told that there was nothing "physically" wrong with me.

Okay so what is that supposed to mean that I am nuts and the feelings I am having don`t exist, they are all in my head?

Hmmmmmmmmmm, they just confirmed my worse fears.

I am crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL................... :-D

That is until I learnt that these are real attacks.

I wanted to go back to that Emergency Room and tell them that there was something wrong with me, even if it was in my head but setting off "physical" symptoms, but I did`nt. LOL................ :-D

Thank goodness we have friends here that suffer the same symptoms we do, so we know everyone having them can`t be nuts so it may just mean that we are the norm.

Take care all,

Diana xxxx

Hi there
This happened to me the other day. I started to tingle and my viens rose in my hands. My whole body went bright red like i HAD BEEN SUNBURNT! It was scary. I think anxiety can rear its ugly head in so many different ways. It is also hard for other people to understand what your going through. Once i began to rationalise with myself it went away.
I hope this makes you feel a little more normal.
Rachel.
