Question

When you have panic and anxiety attacks, do you feet become suddenly cold? even if it's summer.

Answer 1

Yes, and I get pins and needles in my arms and legs. I think it's to do with the lack of oxygen getting around.

Answer 2

No but I use to get pins and needles in my hands and feet!

Answer 3

Yes this is because anxiety can affect your circulation....I have cold hands and feet all the time...

Answer 4

I can't say I have noticed that, but it is a logical thing to happen.

Your body will be protecting you by reducing blood flow at the surface of the skin - this would also affect feet & hands.

Answer 6

You can sweat hot or cold during a panic attack anytime of the year. I experienced that and its ok. Try to resolve this though by not thinking about it.

Answer 7

yes, its the same when I'm about to throw up i get a cold sweaty feeling which starts in my feet and works its way up. I think its to do with the fight or flight release of hormones when you become anxious. try some slow deep breathing or try to avoid panicky situations. good luck
