Hi john

yes love they are probably a smptom of your Anxiety. I often feel very cold and trembling but I believe this is due to feeling scared which is basically what Anxiety is. If we think of someone in a state of shock they tremble and we need to keep them warm. Try wrapping a nice warm fleece or blanket around you this will help you relax as well. When my Panic attacks are really bad my Daughter has to hold my legs down as I look like I am doing the Riverdance LOL dont be afraid to ask for re-assurance for what ever symptoms you are having. I am sure between us we would have experienced them.

Take Care and for the next hour say to yourself P--s off Anxiety I am having a rest and do something you enjoy maybe put your favourite tunes on

John12, i think i know exactly what yiu experienced. I have had approx 3-4 horrenous chill episodes. My first being very scary, it seemed to travel up my spine down my arm, all over my head back again eventually settling in tops of my legs it was very very scary. Had no idea what the hell was going on. Plus id take my first sertraline i wondered if it was that, ive not tried it since bu hace has milder episodes too. Take care x

Today I had out-patient surgery. I wasn't stressed about the surgery as it was just routine. When it came to being prepped for surgery I started shaking so much that the nurse asked if I was anxious. I told her no, not really. She then asked if I was cold. Maybe a little, so she got me another warm blanket and wrapped it around my shoulders. This helped a lot.

What I think happened was that I was having an anxiety attack.
