Hot skin - hot breath - hot eyes

So I was wondering if these symptoms fall in line with anyone elses. I've recently been worried about certain issues in my life (non-stop for about a month) and have started feeling like my breath is very hot, my back just along my spine is very hot and my eyes and ears feel hot too. I've taken my temperature like a 100 times and it's never been above 99 and only hit above 98.6 once. Are these symptoms of anxiety. I'm currently taking paxil for my diagnosed anxiety disorder.

Thanks for conversation in advance

I feel hot sometimes too (i.e. feverish) and have been doing a lot of temperature taking.  I would even switch thermometers to see if the temp is different (ex. temporal vs. ear).  I would always fall into the normal range, then after seeing that, I'd forget about it til the next time I felt hot. I do think this has to do with my anxiety -- and mine had started about the same time as I had / the family had some other illnesses floating around.  I guess I'm a little worried about them coming back. And when I'm distracted, it doesn't happen -- it's funny that you mentioned watching TV helped you not think about it - the same thing works for me ;)  I like Jerry's suggestion of getting enough sleep, too.

I had this problem frequently and I still get them once in a while. When I have this my breath becomes hot , and I have a weird sensation on my tongue, I constantly felt thirsty and my eyes burned. When I folded the back of my ears towards front I felt heat and my eyes by evening could not stand sharp light. I consulted many doctors and health councillors, and they all pointed it down to anxiety . I was even tested for diabetics and results came out negative. I spend thousands of pounds on private consultation, spa and health clubs.

I am an investment banker and I go to bed every night by 02:00 am and wake up 07:00 am. I had this routine for years and never complained about lack of sleep, 5 hrs sleep was enough for me to carry on with the days work.

I was returning from Japan one night and landed at Heathrow at 6 pm and went straight home. For a change instead of catching up with friends and office mates I fell asleep at about 9:30 pm and woke up at 7:00 am. I felt fresh a feeling I never had for a long time, it was magical I felt strength in every part of my body. My breath was cool and I had no sensation of heat on my body . From then on when ever I slept for 8 hrs the next day I will be energetic and fresh. I can't sleep everyday for 8 hrs but I try my best to do this at least thrice a week.

Friends try your best to catch up on your sleep and don't let it accumulate. One can work more if they sleep well. I no more believe in corporate concept of sleep less and work more, if you want to be productive and efficient sleep more.

Thanks for all the responses, I googled for answers because I've been noticing that my breath is very hot today.  I don't have a thermometer, but I'm quite sure it's actually hotter to the touch than usual, not just hyperawareness or imagination on my part.  As it happens, I have been very stressed our the last few days and suffering from indigestion as a result, so it's good to know that the association is normal.

I am experiencing the same symptoms. I have been diagnosed with acid reflux disease. The doctor stated with a little diet and lifestyle change, the symptoms will clear. From my experience, the symptoms are getting better.

this is so strange, i thought it was just me. i feel like i have hot breath and my eyes feel hot. i think it's due to hyper awareness. its something all of us suffer from. we notice things that everyday people don't notice or pay attention to. i notice EVERY LITTLE THING that happens to my body. every twitch, ache, temp. change, etc. im constantly taking my temperature because i think i feel feverish with hot breath but it's NEVER above 99 degrees. i have even change thermometers several times because i think it cant be working right. i feel like when i breathe out it's hot, hot out of my mouth and nose. so weird. but at least we're not alone!

Hi all

wat i have discovered is that its due to anxiety only.
you like to be busy all the time because the moment  you stop, this sick feeling haunts.
But we have to fight this alone, we cannot be running all the time in order to temporarily forget it.
No hill station, entertainment, spa, resorts can permanently cure this.
Meditation, Yoga with complete trust on God can be very helpfull.
This makes feel secure and relieving.
