Weird Panic Attack Symptoms (Heat all over body, Weird tongue feeling)

I have been on Paxil for a little over 2 years. It works well, I don't really have complaints.

But, when I do have a panic attack, I have such weird symptoms. My heart rate goes up (Normal for anxiety/panic) but I also get this weird heat through out my whole body and my tongue feels weird. The heat is unbelievable. It almost feels like a burning in various parts of my body (even private regions). I had an episode this morning (they don't happen very often I think the last one was over 8 months ago) but I had bent over to pick something up, saw stars (probably because I'm congested) and just spiraled.

So I'm just wondering if anyone else experiences this. It wasn't something I had before starting Paxil but since starting, has probably happened about 5x.

Thank you for listening.

    So its not just me! I know you posted this a while ago but I'm new here, massive panic attack 3 months ago, have had severe anxiety/panic disorder ever since, have had every symptom under the sun and several trips to the ER. Been on Sertraline 50mg for 5 weeks, still waking hoping and waiting for it to kick in 😦 but for the first time yesterday this exact thing happened to me and I absolutely freaked out, never happened before... must be 1 of my new symptoms. very horrible feeling.

    all the best to you and thanks for sharing

      Thanks for your reply! Glad I'm not alone (Not glad but glad I'm not super weird and crazy) . It's the weirdest symptom I think I've had. I used to get all the other symptoms of Anxiety/Panic disorder but this was a new one after I started the Paxil. I also found one other person on Reddit that experienced the same thing recently as well. It's one symptom I could gladly do without! I hope you are doing well and take care 😊
