goosebump patches

[blondie12]

Hi, I have really bad anxiety and have been bugging out about one paticular symtom lately. I get a chill and then I look and have goosebump patches..then it totally throws me and I go into a panic attack..It happens on both arms and legs..and gets worse if I am really anxious...Is this normal?

Goosebumps are a reaction to cold, strong emotions, sexual arousal, deep feelings when watching a movie or reading a good book ... A life without them is a life without feeling, so enjoy them.

I get goosebumps two ways; if I am really cold or really nervous.  In my opinion, it is a normal reaction to panic.  Quite often, one symptom can lead to another and our minds can get carried away and we get panic attacks.  Have you ever considered talking to a counselor about your anxiety if you have access to one?  I always try to stress to people to try to gain the long term knowledge to understand and confront panic and anxiety...keep us posted!

I have horrible anxiety and panic attacks.  Very often physical things will set me off and then there is no stopping it.  I can totally relate.  I have had numbness in my arm and thought it was a stroke, chest pains and though it was a heart attack, both of which sent me to the emergency room.  I turned out to be my anxiety. Hope you feel better.
