Anybody else get really hot when they have a panic attack? i'm now finding that just being in a warm room triggers me to panic. Bit of a chicken and egg senario which i dont know how to get out of!

Hey Mog2,
I get real hot,,,my face burns like fire when I'm having an attack. And Yes,if I get into a room thats warm,I feel the panic coming. If its too warm,,I have to leave. But if I stay in a room thats warm,,,anxiety will kick in. I keep my home kinda cold,,some say,,but I love it that way.....Take care

I also get hot. Mostly my chest, neck, face. I also have to cool down. If I am in a car, I have to roll the window down some. I can't stand to feel so closed up.

I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
