Anxiety and Hot Flashes – What Is The Relationship?

Article by Kris Calloway

Hot flashes triggered by anxiety are characterized by dramatic blood flow to the surface of your body and perception of heat. Anxiety hot flashes have several extra small complications like sweaty palms of your hands. Anxiety hot flashes are similar to the hot flashes experienced by menopausal women.

Hot flashes are identified by a feeling of heat, normally felt first in your chest and face. The heat sometimes may be felt first in your upper shoulders or back of your neck, on occasion. From the origin, the heat will typically travel in a slow-moving way down through the remainder of your body.

A few of the symptoms of anxiety hot flashes that may occur are a feeling of your chest being constricted and a sense of being on the verge of fainting. A sense of not knowing which way is up and dizziness along with a feeling of fainting can happen. Usually this will only be a sense of fainting, but it may lead to a legitimate loss of consciousness. Visible sweating from the areas where the hot flash is located is common. Hot flashes can initiate and cease rather swiftly in a in a select few, but everyone is uncomfortable during the hot flash.

Concern for what it is others think about the anxiety hot flash can promote further anxiety. This has a tendency to create a ‘negative feedback loop’ in which the anxiety hot flashes cause you to be embarrassed, which promotes more anxious feelings, which intensifies the hot flash.

During your hot flash, you may hyperventilate and feel as though the wind is being pressed out of your body. Of course anxiety drives the hot flash, but sticking around in an overheated room can dramatically worsen the situation.

There are some simple and direct steps you can take to lessen the occurrences of your anxiety hot flashes, although they are not a permanent fix:

Avoid spicy foods

Spicy foods set off pain receptors and set off chemical chain-reactions that are very much like hot flashes. This can actually set off an anxiety hot flash. The recognizable hot flash feeling may also create anxiety, which then leads to a genuine hot flash from anxiety.

Avoid alcoholic drinks

This does not relate to only hot flashes, but instead anxiety. While it may seem like indulging in alcohol lowers your anxiety level at that particular time, it is actually just dulling your awareness on a temporary basis and will really create more and more anxiety. Of course more anxiety can only lead to more anxiety hot flashes.

Draw a cool relaxing bath

Anxiety hot flashes are accompanied by a big dump of the hormone adrenaline and increased blood flow to the skin. The chill water is guaranteed to both calm you down (working against the anxiety surge) and the cool temperature works to move your bloodflow away from your skin.

Truly, the real secret to utterly abolishing these hot flashes in your life is the removal of the undercurrent of anxious feelings. If you want to go further, you can check out the panic away review – it provides thorough examination of a full set of techniques for completely removing anxiety.
