warm sensation in left foot, is it because of anxiety?

[sachin1]

Hi,
I am feeling a warm sensation in my left foot sometimes in a day, it is not happening so often.
i am over anxious over something. i want to know can the anxiety cause this kind of warm sensation?
is it a symptom of anxiety? what can i do to reduce it. i am not able to get the thing out of my mind, some time of the day i am normal but sometime i am depressed because of the thing.

Hi Sachin,

You should try aerobic exercise (to get a healthy dose of oxygen flowing to your heart and peripheries) and saint johns wort (to chemically modulate the fight or flight response).  I have the same problem and I see clear differences when I'm on this regime.

Anxiety can cause many physical/emotional symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, racing thoughts, catistrophic thoughts, irrationality, lack of sleep, excessive feelings of guilt/worry, shakiness, etc...however, in my experience of treating people with anxiety as an LPC (and having it myself) I have not heard of a warm sensation in the foot although that does not mean it isn't related.  What I can say, however is that you definitely are experiencing anxiety due to the physical sensation.  I suggest going to see a doctor about your foot and if the anxiety continues they can also treat you for that by referring you to a psychotherapist and possibly prescribing an SSRI medication.
