I have been struggling with social anxiety for many years now, and anxiety in its self is taking over my life. On top of that I suffer from really bad migraines. Doctor has prescribed Prograne beta blockers that I must say are helping me manage the headaches and the anxiety. I have been experiencing some hot flushes in both arms recently, it feels like someone is pouring hot water down into my veins. I can also get a little sweaty when this happens. Has anyone who takes beta blockers experienced this? It does scare me when it happens. Thanks for taking the time to read my concern. Craig

HI there social anxiety has been a problem for me too over the years. even though I was quite able to stand on a stage and sing and play guitar to 100 people. I love nothing more than one to one conversations but don't do well with a room full of people. there's nothing wrong with us its just the way we are. I don't beat myself up about it now and just don't put myself in them situations anymore. I am older now and I can think things through. Just remember there's nothing wrong with you just because you don't like a room full of people talking at the same time, some people struggle if they have to chat to you one to one which I have always felt at my most comfortable Good Luck Tony.

Thanks Tony for the kind and reassuring words.
ok mate good luck.
I'm having counselling/hypno
I hate all things social. I go now because I'm told it's good for me and I have an other half that loves that stuff. It does get easier with practice, still would rather stay home. I found initially that to " practice" in my head beforehand helped me, not the conversations but how to arrive, enter a room, keep my head up, look at folks, all that kind of stuff. It got me through the doors! People love listeners! My confidence has grown, migraines have lessened. I can go anywhere now without fretting. But I'd still rather not!!!!!!!
Best wishes. X
