Hi in need,

Yes, I have had both hot and cold flashes...and alternating, which really keeps you guessing!

Adrenaline can cause a feeling of heat throughout the body...and after a flood of it, it is not uncommon to then feel weak, tired and wrung out.

Video games can be a trigger for my symptoms. Playing Rock Band, or anything with a rolling screen makes me dizzy after a while.

Take frequent breaks from your games...they even recommend this on the instructions! I really have to.:)

Good job on not going into a full on attack. I hope that you are calm and symptom free the rest of today!:)

S.C.

Yes addrenlin burn out, flushing across back and sholders, sometimes chest, weak leggs. I always knew that
the addrenlin rush was over and I could get some rest.

hi!!
this happens to me occasionally as well. i will get random hot and cold flashes due to adrenaline, usually if i have anxious thoughts on my mind. this makes it hard for me to sleep as well due to fearing i might not make it to the next day or i might wake up and be completely crazy or something. my therapist told me to imagine a very calm and relaxing place and put yourself there and noticing every sense as if you were actually in the environment, you should give it a try.

I get the hot burning sensations all over, mainly neck, chest and arms during my worst panic attacks. I'll start sweating and getting HOT. Then, as it subsides, I can start to get cold from the sweat evaporating off.
