Can anxiety attacks cause fever?!
Question: Can anxiety attacks cause fever!?
I have anxiety and panic attack disorder!. I don't take any meds for it after 2 horrific experiences with prescription anxiety meds!. Anway, I had to go to the hospital today for a minor injury and felt fine aside the simmering panic inside me!. However, when my temp was taken, I was at 99!.9!. I've been home for a few hours and my temperature is much lower than the norm now, although I still feel like I have the low grade fever!.

Anxiety attacks can do all sorts of crazy things!. I fever of less than two degrees is definitely one of them!. I used to live with a girl who got panic attacks out of nowhere that imitated heart attacks!. She got the chest pain, the numb arm, and increased heart rate, and the jaw pain!. If you're having actual panic attacks and not just anxiety attacks you should find something you can take without it driving you nuts!. I know how you feel about anti-anxiety meds (my doc put me on effexor and it was the single worst experience of my entire life) but if you can find a doctor who will actually listen to you and work with you, not just write you a scrip and send you on your way, you should be able to get them under control!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes!. You get panicked, which can make your body work faster, which may make you warm up!. Try getting Lexipro, that's what my sister takes!. Look on the internet and type in "symptoms of anxiety" and see if it fits your description!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
99!.9 is not considered a fever!. No, attacks cannot casue fever, but they can raise your blood pressure and cause sweating!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
