A member asked:

Would low body temperature cause anxiety? get attacks every night and take lexapro (escitalopram) which helps, but doesn't fix the problem. also have low thyroid.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: hypothyroidism may contribute to lower body temp or feeling cold, as might a history of anxiety. Interestingly both issues are associated with constriction of blood flow to extremities, increasing the feeling of cold. suggest discussing symptoms with your provider. Also consider cognitive behavior therapy for panic symptoms as well as visualization activities to increase blood flow to extremities.
