Has anyone ever had their ears get red and hot with anxiety? When it would happen before, I always thought it was an allergy to a food. Recently I've realized it happens with a panic attack.. Just wondering if anyone else has had this. I also thought maybe hormones like a hot flash?

Thank you Scaredy Cat. It seems like it's either my anxiety or when my stomach gets inflammed, so do my ears. This makes me feel better though, thank you so much..its so hard to believe that anxiety and panic can cause so much stuff..unreal!! I wish this would leave me alone..ughhh

I get that too. I also feel like my face is on fire. If I feel all my heat going to my face my hands and feet get ice cold. I have numerous symptoms related to anxiety. So I wouldn't at all be surprise at what other people feel because I sure get some weird sensations.

I feel like my face and body are burning all the time. Sometimes im fine, sometimes they seems to burnnn me and my temp goes up like a fever.

Chiming in,...same here. My face, ears and chest burns and can even turn red (though not always). I can feel hot to the touch. My ears can feel clogged.

My body's had this response for decades....I understand how annoying this can be. You're not alone.

Provided you're current with your medical care and you're otherwise healthy, hopefully this puts a little concern to rest knowing a bunch of us seem to get the same thing? :)

I have been asking my doc for the past two weeks why do I keep having a hot face and warm to touch body like I always feel like I m having a fever! And I would get really paranoid and keep using the thermometer and when temp goes up a little I get real panicky and I would keep touching and feeling myself all the times (OCD).

prior to this, I would get racing/skipped heartbeat all the time.. I would wake up with a bolted heartbeat n get really freaked out.. I would have trouble breathing and panic attack would set in.

I did ecg test and a health screening and it turns out normal.

My doc thinks it's either due to hormonal changes, pms, anxiety or my body is too heaty. I feel worse in the morning cos I would have hot flashes all over me.

Yes, I have had a full workup this past year. Just had my appt with my cardiologist too. I usually don't run a fever at all. My face always feels hot, and my ears are hot and get really red. I had seen a cardiologist because I didn't know if it was because of blood pressure. Lately my blood pressure has been a little low due to my digestive issues, and weight loss. I have seen way to many specialist in this past year, and everything checks out. At least they say anyway, and most of the time I can believe it. Thank you all for making me feel at ease.

I do the same thing. OCD from germs terrible fear of illness. So I feel like a crazy woman always grabbing my thermometer or having my husband feel me. He just rolls his eyes and says I'm fine. He'll try and reassure me that it's my anxiety or hormones. But I will freak out when it is slightly higher than usual.

That is some list, Wowzers! I feel a bit better as the burning skin is mentioned and I've been feeling that for 2 days now, mostly in my toes but when I wind myself up it spreads to my back, arms and hands. I get very red and warm in the face and ears then will have cold feet and hands.

oh ya, some days my feet and hands are cold as ice, and then my ears and face are on fire..at least that's what it feels like. I seriously can't believe how many issues we can have with anxiety. I had to get a mammogram done today, and she said if they need more tests, don't worry. I had to kind of laugh at her, and I said to late, already worried. Explained that is who I am a worrier.

Hi, i am new here and i absolutely have the same symptoms! My temp. actually will go up into the 99.7 Range. i also have microscopic colitis that has recently been agrivatted by changing all my anxiety and depression meds around. I go from freezing to hot back to freezing and hot. Ive learned to just stop checking my temp. because it only freaks me out! My anxiety is threw the roof as we speak and my therapist is reffering to me as a "crisis case". Don't worry all my doctors tell me it has noting to with my anxiety but, i have had every health test ran along with ct scans and everything seemed to check out fine! I hope things get better!

Hi Kaybee,

Welcome to our not-so-little AP forum!

Our temperature changes throughout the day, (we're cooler first thing in the morning), and it changes with our activity levels. This includes anxiety, as when we're anxious, we're running through the motions, so our heart rate can go up, our temp, our respiration,...it's all part and parcel.

Things really do get better.

As this is your first time in our forum, a good idea would be to "Post New Topic" and start an introductory thread, give us some background on what you're going through. We like to welcome members individually, plus it would give your post some more exposure and give you some feedback! :)

Hi Kaybee,

Good luck to you. I too have microscopic colitis. But my anxiety has gotten worse over the last year because of the colitis. It took them over a year to find out that's what it was. My blood pressure is lower too these days, and it makes me lightheaded, and freaks me out. Then anxiety kicks in, then stomach kicks in...viscious cycle..I know being on this forum has helped me out alot. I hope you stick around and it helps you too. Good luck to you.
