Recently I find myself getting freezing cold or extremely hot out of no where.  I am also having anxiety at the time or just a little bit before the hot or cold spells happen. That and severe neck and jaw pain tension headaches. I just feel like my body is falling apart. It went from 45-80 today and back to 45 tomarrow and I was cold hot cold and my body just never felt right. Then tonite I worried about if there’s something wrong why am I hot. So frustrating anyone else relate to this would be nice to hear from someone

    Hey there , 

    Is totally normal to have cold and hot flashes when you have anxiety . More likely , you will feel hot . Don’t let your anxiety fool you ! Is a vicious cycle . Sometimes overthinking will worsen your anxiety . I feel all the sensations as I have panic disorder for 17 years . Try mindfulness , it really helps .

      Im so sorry to hear you have had it for so long, I was just reading through this thread and was wondering what symptoms do you experience?

      I have anxiety, PTSD & OCD but my anxiety symptoms are never the same, same as my panic attacks sometimes I don't realise it's anxiety until after it's passed.

      Do your panic attacks change?

      I get so scared because I feel everything in my body, it's like im over sensitive to the slightest change and then BAM I'm stressed or experiencing weird symptoms which spiral.

      Thanks in advance xx

    Dear Tom

    I had the same problem before I found out that I have anxiety. I had hot flushes expecialy when I was on my period. I felt like my face was swollen.

    When you all say hot flashes I feel like sometimes I get like like where my skin feels hot and or I get itchy this is around the same time I will get hot flashes as well. Do any of you ever get these same feelings it’s similar to a hot flash I guess but I actually feel like my skin is hot like around my hole body. I looked it up and it is a symptom of anxiety or can be rather. I’m still amazed at all the things anxiety can do to your body.
