Has anyone ever experienced warm sensations on a part of their legs or arms or anywhere else??? It's not warm to touch but an internal warm sensations that feels like you put a warm cup of coffee against a patch of skin for a sec amd then it goes away. Its not painful at all just annoying and it is really sending my health anxiety off

Hello, I've been experiencing the same thing. It's been happening for about a month now. I have major anxiety issues especially lately. My warm sensation is usually in my upper middle back, neck or under my ribs on the front. I mentioned it to my doctor but she didn't seem too concerned. It comes and goes but it's everyday that I feel it. Anxiety has it's way of making the smallest things feel like the worst things possible. I've been dealing with anxiety issues for over 10 years. I go to a cardiologist Wednesday so I'll let you know if it's heart related (which I doubt).
Hope this helps!

Thanks for your heads up leeann1019. Hopefully it won't be heart related.
My doctor still feels that it is
nothing, and I'm with you in the factthat the mind plays awful games
with your sensability! I firmly believe that things are happening for a reason, and I certainly don't want to get further down the track of my life to find out that something I've had for years could have been cured if the right Doctor was approached about it.

I completely agree. I feel the same. Recently after having my 2nd son a month ago I randomly had high blood pressure
Never before in my life have I had it. So i panicked and convinced myself I was going to have a stroke or heart attack. The more I panicked the higher my blood pressure went until I focused on something else. Unfortunately for me that somethibg else was my heart rate. Now everytime I stand up I know it's going to be high and it is.. 110-130... I actually called an ambulance today for the first time ever during a panic attack because I convinced myself it wasn't a panic attack. Anxiety is honestly awful. Distraction helps if you're able to distract yourself.

Update: I went to the cardiologist. He did another ekg which was normal . He believes its anxiety related. Also, when I finally calmed down about my heart rate it came down and so the warm spots I feel are gone. I think if you stop focusing on it, it'll go away. Good luck!

Your situation sounds so much like mine.
I have been on blood pressure meds now for the past 8 years. I never have had blood pressure issues up until then. I had put it down to my worries over my parents failing health. As of February this year, they both have past, but I still feel myself worrying over other things.
Now, I'm not the best person to talk about fitness and eating healthy, my weight has risen an extra 20kg, I don't exercise as much as I used to and I definitely don't drink as much water a day that I should, and on top of these facts I now suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Speaking with the sleep specialist, I asked if carrying the extra weight is causing my breathing issues, and he said that he had a lot of patients who suffer from OSA that were more underweight and painfully thin than being overweight.
I feel I get puffed a lot more doing just normal everyday things, like standing at the sink drying dishes! Other times I could be sitting on the lounge thinking about loosing weight, drinking more water, etc, and then having the feeling that I can't get a full breath of air into my lungs!!
But I feel that it must be a type of anxiety that I've been feeling to cause this to happen. My Dr has just put me on Ventolin and Flixitide as he felt I was developing Adult Asthma. I told him that I'm not convinced of that at all considering that none of my family have suffered from Asthma (my wife does, so I know all about the issues they have to deal with), yet after doing a Spirometry test with the nurse, taking a couple of puffs of Ventolin and then doing the test again, the result was a 52% increase in lung capacity!! I'm just wondering now if it's the anxiety causing my lungs and muscles around them to clamp up that's causing the shortness of breath, and then my mind calming me down through the thought of taking something for it and everything unclamping. And the thought of having to take these puffer meds doesn't make me feel any easier either!

My doctor wasn't sure but I think it has to do with stress. The muscles in my back where I kept getting the warm sensation were really tight so I got a massage and eventually stopped focusing on it and it went away. It happens when I'm stressed so I think it has to do with muscles and stress.

Hi I get the heat under my skin like I spilled something worm but last for a few min the gone .... strange.... One thing it does is function as sort of a radiator for the body, in the sense that blood vessels in the skin's surface become enlarged to release heat when the core of the body gets too warm. This engorgement of the blood vessels in the skin can cause flushing (a red appearance) and may make the skin feel hot.
