My neck and back get cold and numb when masturbating, during orgasm. a similar thing happens before i get panic attacks. what could be causing it?

Autonomic nerves: The autonomic (involuntary) nervous system is 2 parts: one called sympathetic and the other is parasympathetic. The sympathetic part is responsible for panic (fear fight flight anger and intense exercise) and also gets excited during orgasm. The problem is that fixing this problem is not as straight forward. Discuss with your doc possibly increasing Paxil (paroxetine) or using other meds like beta blockers?
