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.

BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
