Hi. You are having classic anxiety and panic attack symptoms. Have you spoken to a dr about It?? Your body is perceiving a threat when you go.outside so you feel.all these things. It's the fight or flight symptoms.
Hello thankyou for message so how do I get this sorted ive been to doctors and he says its a anxiety attack I have seen councillor but they said I could control it but how can I control it if I don't know whats causing it
HI. Are you taking any medication. If you are in the UK the nhs offer a great stress control course. That alongside counselling and medication will.hopefully make you strong enough to confront it. I don't always have a logical reason for my attacks. You really can't think of anything That may have started it. An illness can lead to it. It's hard if you are not sure why you feel the way you do.

When it is cold outside and we go indoors, if there is heating on we feel we warm up and become hot because of exterior/interior changes. I suppose the bus is the same, cold at a bus stop warm on the bus. I know when I was on public transport or in a shopping Mall, shops my glasses would steam up when I went indoors, the same with the bus. If you rinse your hands and face that can cool you down. washing your hands the blood vessels are nearer to the surface and they will take in heat or cold in quicker, the same with the head and face
BOB
thankyou for your reply I don't put heating on atall I just use my gas for a quick bath as I hate heat no matter what the weather I always open the windows I just wish that people wouldn't take a huff if you open window on bus even when I go in a shop I take a friend with me and it it to hot he does my shopping so I can get out of shop I don't know why im like this but I just cant take being hot but the funny thing is I have worked most of my jobs as a kitchen assistant its weird but when I go near heat I feel ill I start getting dry throat then I start coughing then I go into a chocking fit then I cannot breath it is horrible and it is stopping me doing things so when it rains its nice but I still sweat even if raining and hot but I don't know why
Dave were you happy in the kitchen or was it a trial for you ? Could your Anxiety be caused from that problem Anxiety can be learned from stressful situation ?
BOB
it was ok back then it had air conditioning but I have had couple work trials recently and the kitchen had no ventilation atall and I was closed in the doors were closed on me that's another thing I always leave my interior doors open I don't like being closed in if I visit somebody and it is hot in their house I have to open window or turn heating off but this has only been happening about 2 years but I cannot cope the doctor says nothing to worry about but its a big deal to me I sometimes would be sitting and I can feel my heartbeat feeling like it is slowing down very unpleasant feeling I also have this thing I call the throat what I mean is when I drink my mouth seems to be dry it is worse in late night in morning I have to try make myself sick cause I have no fluid in my mouth its dry as sand I get sore throat and spit blood and all I got from doctor was lansoprazole to stop me having chocking fits but nothing works I recently been hospital to have throat scan but nothing so why am I dry in mouth and find it hard to breath also why does my throat always feel like it blocked and i cant swallow or breath properly
Dave
It all sounds like your work and the fact you are sensitized to heat,
I feel spitting blood needs looking into as does your sore, dry throat, it may be other medications may help.
You can also ask if the GP could arrange some CBT, a CPN may be able to help you gain confidence and move on in your occupation.
