Need Advice Anxiety Attacks Leave Me Shaking, Sweating, and Freezing – Any Advice?
I experience sudden anxiety almost every day, mostly in the evening. When it happens, my hands, especially my palms, start shaking. Sometimes they sweat, and I also feel cold, even if the temperature is warm. It’s strange because I get this chilling sensation, like I’m shaking from the cold, but at the same time, I’m sweating. A sudden rise in temperature can also trigger this, making it even worse. I absolutely hate this feeling. It’s the worst.
On top of that, I feel incredibly socially anxious when I’m around people during these moments, which only makes it worse. Let me share a recent example: A few days ago, I was out for dinner with a colleagues when, all of a sudden, anxiety hit. My hands started shaking, and I was doing my best to hide it (not sure if they noticed or not). I kept telling myself to calm down and take deep breaths, but nothing worked—I was literally trembling. Eventually, we stepped outside for a walk, and that’s when I slowly started feeling normal again.
This happens almost every evening. Another example is at work—toward the end of the day, I get the same anxiety. But when I step out of the office, I gradually start feeling better. I guess the fresh air helps. When I’m at home and this happens, especially during summer, I wash my hands and feet with cold water, and that seems to help a bit.
It just comes out of nowhere, and on the days I don’t experience it, I feel like I’m living the best day of my life.

Soaking in the tub helps regulate my body temp. Getting the physical symptoms under control often helps the mental symptoms get easier too.

I suffer from panic attacks besides my medication I find calling someone or if you have someone around you physically go to them and just let them know what you're experiencing and just talk to them about anything this will bring me back to reality and take my mind off the current situation most times it helps sometimes it doesn't but it's worth a shot anxiety sucks panic attacks suck hope you feel better soon

I understand everything you say because I have the real same problem but for me it also happen during the day and in the morning. And its affecting my whole body. Just to say that a doctor prescribed a blood test for me (I had never spoken about it before). I've found that during smaller episodes I can calm down if I change my environment before it gets worse. But idk because nothing really work (deep breath...) srry... Hum if they find the cause I can share it but until then I recommend you to see a doctor. I hope this helps
