Hi Prudypruds, if you can keep your h/r between 55/75 while chatting, you are doing better

than most of us. You mentioned that out of nowhere your hands get sweaty and you get a

hot flush through your body and feel like you need to take a deep breath... Upon my own

experiences in the past, I can only tell you that it sounds like anxiety. You think you may not have been anxious while chatting but I wouldn't doubt that at times you were holding your breath without even knowing. Anxiety produced breathing can happen in over breathing or not breathing enough. Either would give you the symptoms you experienced including needing to take that deep breath.

I use to be the opposite, h/r and b/p would skyrocket when talking. A way you can avoid

these anxiety symptoms is to allow yourself to listen more and not feel you need to take over

the conversation. During your listening moments, concentrate on your breathing in slowly it down. Bring your shoulders down away from your ears as well as loosening the grip of the

phone (if you are talking on the cell) xx

If you've ever been diagnosed with anxiety .... then any and all symptoms are ANXIETY until proven otherwise. Anxiety can mimic all kind of diseases and symptoms.
