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

This is a sign of anxiety.  I get a burning sensation in my eyes and in my arms. And feel feverish too.  Right now I'm having hot breath and a burning sensation in my throat.  I think it is a bit of acid indigestion or gas, which are also symptoms of anxiety.

well i thought i was the only one here having burning. my burning started off on my legs then as soon as that was over it then went on my hands, now its in my back, and trust me it burns like hell, funny enough when i put my hands on it i dont feel it on my hands, but if i sit back on a chair or the car seat i feel it, its not the best feeling in the world, hey now that i remember i did have some burning on my ears afew days ago, so trust me its all anxiety and you not alone

I have that "symptom" too!  I feel like I'm running a fever all the time and my body temp averages 97.8 !  I can feel an intense heat in my eyes, in the skin on my head, neck, back, and often feel chilled because of this "feverish" feeling.  I have noticed my breath feeling hot, but not daily.  I've had anxiety for 7 years.  At first I worried about it alot, but as time went on my "health" anxiety issues went on to "bigger and better things"  :-)  Hope this helps!

You're probably right - For instance, last night I was sitting on the couch with my son while he was sleeping in my arms and I was watching America's got Talent. I was there for two hours with him and never once thought about my back being hot or my ears burning. My eyes burned but that's probably because I was watching tv in the dark. But right when I get in the car in the morning to come to work and my back hits that seat it feels abnormally hot - then everything else falls in line. I guess I just need to stay at home! hehehehe - nah that won't work.......I need to get being sick off my mind!!!! I'd love to join this family on here that I read about it. Yall seem like a nice bunch of people.

I think it is something normal that you are "percieving" as abnormal because you likely have some health anxiety, it that makes sense.
For instance, you feel your breath is hot but your temperature is in the average range.  If you took your temperature orally, then your breath would likely be the same as the temperature inside your mouth.
