Heat Exhaustion

[Geodog]

Hi, I am trying to figure out what triggered my latest bout of anxiety and panic. I was wondering if anyone has experienced onset of anxiety after getting overheated outdoors. About 6 weeks ago I got overheated while working in the yard, after recovering from the immediate effects of this, I started having panic attacks and anxiety.

Heat and being too hot is a big trigger for my anxiety and panic too! I really struggle in the summer

Thanks, I guess I am not imagining heat as being a trigger.

This happens to me too. It’s like my body freaks out from the heat and then my mind does too with anxiety and panic and causes my body to freak out more. And so much of this happens subconsciously. I’m sure that I don’t help things because I’m personally not good about keeping hydrated. My personal remedy is sitting alone in a quiet, dim, bedroom with a cold wash rag on the top of my head and a big cup of ice water to drink.

I think it could be the heat and you often hear people say they are 'all hot n bothered or hot n flustered'

I can’t handle it either, it never used to bother me before, I’m wondering if that’s why I also feel a little bit nauseous, trying to dodge the sun by walking where it’s shady
