One of the main things worrying me right now is that my body temperature seems to be fluctuating wildly. I feel cold right now, and have some chills, but last night after doing some physical activity I seemed to get hot very quickly.
Can anxiety cause this symptom? A quick google suggests it can, but it can be caused by other things too, leading me to have more anxiety.
Has anyone experienced chills, night sweats, and/or body temperature changes due to anxiety? If so please let me know! My mind needs calming.
I get freezing cold a lot when I'm super anxious, and somehow at the same time my hands and feet will be so sweaty lol. I've also had it where I got very hot and felt light headed when anxious, but usually I feel really cold. This is definitely a common symptom of anxiety!
If you get hot after or when doing exercises you are burning calories and you will get hot and perspire. Depending on the external/home temperature you may feel cold
You need to stop reading GOOGLE you may have a cold or chill, they are common this time of year and hopefully you will feel better given time
I would suggest is have a hot milk and honey if you feel you have a cold or chill. I find a dram of Dark Rum helps in the milk and honey
There are various colds and things knocking around at this time of year.
I get all the above. My anxiety seems to come in chunks, which I really do not think is normal but my doctors say it is. But I get it sometimes for 2-3 weeks at a time and then I may go a month or more and have very little or no anxiety at all. I OFTEN get night sweats. Sometimes I won't really feel cold but I will have chills or body tremors. Sometimes I will not feel hot but will be sweating BAD! I would be willing to bet, what you are describing is all anxiety related.
Thank you for your comment borderriever! That's true, but it seemed "extra hot" for only a moderate amount of activity.
My problem has been going on for 5 weeks or so now, I have a thread in the sore throat forum going too. My main symptoms aligned with Mono (which is why I picked the username haha) but I tested negative for that.
I also tested negative for flu and strep too (twice) so my current diagnosis is "virus and anxiety".
Just trying to seek out people with similar symptoms, I agree on the googling! I keep thinking I've got lymphoma. :-(
What i do now is when I suffer Anxiety, i consider if my stress Anxiety may be caused by a routine health problem and get checked out first before subjecting myself to a dose of AD drugs
