:wave: does anyone experience anxiety with hot flashes, this week ive been experiencing that around my body especially my ears and stomach. the anxiety accompanies me with fatigue and ive slept pretty bad. ive never taken medicine for anxiety i just go to chinese acupunture and it helps. what can help me reduce this anxiety without medication im just 19. any suggestions please help:)

i can get that... or soemtimes when im stressed (although it can also happen when i eat something very spicy or drink alcohol) i get red blotches on my neck and chest.
I use to NEVER wear v-neck shirts... and when I start a new job, I tend to wear a neck scarf to cover up. it's a dead give away that Im uncomfortable. I hate it. makes me wonder what willl happen if I get married! I'm going to have to have my dress made into a turtleneck! lol

hi,
since you don't list your age, its hard to tell. at 32 yrs old, i had same thing. i thought it was menopause as my mom had had similar problems at that age. she'd already had 6 of us kids.
dr laughed, "no way menopause, way to young" dr didn't even check my hormone levels. said it was anxiety attacks, gave me xanax for anxiety, which did seem to help for a while. come to find out, i did have panic attacks but that was not the cause. several yrs , miserable yrs later, after having cramps and bleeding heavily, dr gave me a total hysterectomy. problem solved.
but now i have other issues, unrelated. pain management for severe osteoporosis, scholiosis, rhematoid arthritis.

will need help regarding pain meds in that area.

take care

:dizzy: I get loads of hot flushes there usually one of the first indications along with breathlessness before an attack. I'm 37 now but being having attacks for 15yrs and always been the same ......

yes i do i will have such hot flashes ya thank someone poured water on me

I have hot flashes with my anxiety, always have except when it is under control with meds.

This is always the first sign of an oncoming panic attack for me. When it first began 13 yrs ago doctors couldn't understand when I described the heat surging through my body and thought it was hormones. Seems medical science has since updated the symptoms of anxiety and panic and have included hot flashes whereas when it first began for me the doctors just thought I was either crazy or hormonal :rolleyes:

Very common though.

Take Care,
Tori

Yes, I get the hot flushes and nervous stomach, part of anxiety for me.

Yep i got very hot in my face and visibly become redder...which in turn makes me more anxious as i can feel it happen! So it ends up a vicious cycle. Im 23 and its really annoying me as it makes me feel very self concious

Hi Hersey's 1228

I also experience hot flashes and I know it sucks but don't worry it can't harm you (I know its easier said not to worry then actually doing it)
I can just be sitting and all of a sudden I feel this warmth over my neck and face and sometimes it gets quite red as well.It used to be worst when my anxiety was really bad This all started a few months before my twenty first this year,I to was worried cause I was only twenty now twenty one.I was on alzyme when nedded 0.5mg and on amytripiline at night.I am glad to say I am off the meds and it did help a lot but now I'm trying to deal with withou it

sorry, when i read your post the other day, i didn't see that you are only 19.
but , yes anxiety is a big cause for hot flashes, which only make you feel worse, more anxios. i'd talk to dr. lots of meds out there for anxiety, also some naturalopatic ones, if your afraid to try a rx.

good luck, i know where your coming from, very uncomfortable. i use to avoid a lot of situations, because i just knew i was gonna have one.

have your hormones checked also, although you are young, they can be very very low.

hi, well i went to the doc and he said that i have gerd, i told him that i felt a burning sensation in my stomach and all over my body, that i would feel hot. i think i might have acid refluzx problems but not that strong to have gerd because ive just had these symptoms for a week and a half, i suffer from anxiety and i know that targets it alot, he sen tme aciphex and prilosec but im not fully convinced that i have gerd because i only present one symptom:wave:

I get hot flashes as well. My face feels hot and then I feel anxious or uncomfortable. It is almost like I am shy or embarassed, but I am really outgoing most of the time. It is strange.

My ears get really warm when im anxious and i have been having alot of stomache issues also.

I think I get hot flashes from anxiety too.What happens to me is I will suddenly feel all hot and flushed almost clammy like except im hot and I feel like I gotta lay down or I might hit the floor or vomit.After laying down for a while and positive self talk it usualy passes.

I am normally very outgoing but there are times when I am with a crowd, at church or just a little anxious I suddenly have a hot flash. Sometimes my ears will just feel like they are on fire and then it's my face, just out of the blue. At night I suffer (not every night) but from the sweaty hot flashes. Am almost 60, had total hysterectomy 12 yrs. ago. Dr. has me on .3 mg of premarin and then I take testosterone (compounded at pharmacy), the lowest dose. Really gets old tho and doesn't help my sleeping problems at all.
