This question is regarding panic attacks, is it normal to get a rash that resembles a heat rash?

Question

I've had panic attacks for years now, they come and go I guess, I'm supposed to start seeing a psychiatrist this Friday, but this week has been hell for me, panic attacks and anxiety keeping me up all hours of the night, but anyways I was just wondering, is it normal to sometimes, during or after a panic attack to have a rash? It looks like a heat rash, so I figured maybe from just being so worked up, also can panicking raise your body temp?

Answer 1

panic attaks can and usually do raise your body temp because your exerting so much more energy...as far as a rash I used to get hives...big red itchy blotches but they seen to have stopped as quickly as they started??? not sure why but glad they quit....I found benedryl worked well lfor me but be carefull it can knock you out if your not used to it!!! Id ask you doc but per personal experience anxiety causes all kinds of things to happen

Answer 2

Yes , yes & yes , they really suck don't they ? There is a great book out there called Surviving Panic Attacks which was the cure for me , I can't remember who wrote it but if you can get hold of it somewhere it will more than likely help you too. I realy don't know how you have lived through a few years of the dreaded things, I was thinking about checking out before I found the book mentioned. It teaches you how to control the attacks when they come and now I don't suffer from them at all-All the best of luck to you.
